The high-rise that caught fire Wednesday on Los Angeles’ Westside was not equipped with fire sprinklers, fire officials said, despite a fire in 2013 in the same building.
Los Angeles officials first made a push to retrofit all high-rises — commercial and residential — with sprinklers in 1988 after a fire at First Interstate Tower downtown killed one man and injured 40.But proponents opted to divide the proposal in two: one for businesses and one for residential. A 2014 count by the city found 71 of the city’s roughly 200 residential high-rises did not have fire sprinkler systems., displaced as many as 150 residents and injured two people.
