Not sure what that buildings construction was....but in "fire resistant" high rise structures...it's common fire department practice to " protect in place "...stay in your apartment...place wet towels at the bottom of your apartment door ....you are far more likely to die from smoke inhalation in the hallway of the fire floor and the stairwells which act like chimneys for the smoke !!! A mass exodus clogs the stairwells preventing access to the fire.....elevators don't always work and you have to hump the equipment up to the fire.....a lesson quickly learned....never...rely on fire hoses in the building to be properly owner maintained...ever !!!
