When a fire erupted in a 50th-floor apartment at New York City’s Trump Tower, there was one thing lacking that may have helped save 67-year-old Todd Brassner’s life: sprinklers. “It’s a well-built building,” Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said. “The upper floors, the resident floors, are not sprinklered.” Six firefighters were injured in the blaze. “This was a very difficult fire,” Nigro said. “As you can imagine, the apartment is quite large. We are 50 stories up. The rest of the building had a considerable amount of smoke.”
