Honolulu's mayor says the burning high-rise where at least three people have died was not equipped with sprinklers.
Mayor Kirk Caldwell made the revelation at a Friday night news conference outside the Marco Polo condominium complex. The blaze began for unknown reasons on the 26th floor of the 36-story high-rise that was built in 1971.
Honolulu Fire Chief Manuel Neves says that without a doubt if there had been sprinklers, the fire would not have spread past the unit where it started.help, Jenkins said.
