A fatal fire at Trump Tower earlier this month was caused by improper use of multiple power strips. The 50th floor apartment had no working smoke alarms or fire sprinklers. Completed in 1983, the building was constructed prior to the passage of a New York City law requiring sprinklers in new residential buildings with four or more units. Following the fire, NYSAFC Executive Director Jerry DeLuca appeared on "Good Morning America" to discuss the benefits of home fire sprinklers.
