Trump Tower fire is second 2018 blaze in sprinkler-free residential tower

The fire on the 50th floor New York City's Trump Tower that left 67-year-old Todd Brassner dead and six firefighters injured was the second fire in the building in 2018. President Trump's centerpiece Manhattan skyscraper opened in 1984, but does not have sprinklers on its residential floors, a measure required in new buildings since 1999. President Trump, then a private citizen and property developer, lobbied to try and prevent the mandate at the time.

New York City in 1999 became last big city in the nation to require sprinklers, according to the New York Daily News. Under the 1999 legislation, buildings constructed before then were only required to have sprinklers if they underwent gut renovations.

According to The New York Times, Mr. Trump was one of the developers in the late 1990s who lobbied against sprinklers in buildings. He then recanted once the legislation passed with grandfathering provisions that meant existing buildings did not need to install them, saying that he understood they made residents "feel safer." FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said on Saturday that there is extra fire protection at Trump Tower when Mr. Trump is there.

Hollywood stars raise record $60m for Israel army
November 6, 2018
Hollywood celebrities raised a record breaking $60 million for the Israeli military at the Friends of the Israel Defence Forces (FIDF) annual gala last week.
This year’s sold-out Western Region event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel welcomed more than 1,200 supporters of Israel, including prominent actors and singers like Ashton Kutcher, Pharrell Williams, Gerard Butler, and Katharine McPhee.“We are thrilled that so many members of our community, including major Hollywood figures, are coming together to help us support the brave men and women of the [Israeli army].” said FIDF National Board Member and Chairman of the event, Haim Saban. “Standing behind these heroes is one of my greatest honours in my life.”
The event featured a programme that told the 70-year history of Israel through the accounts of soldiers and the military’s various campaigns against the Palestinians.

Actor Gerald Butler Slammed for IDF Support After Sharing Photo of Destroyed California Home

by Shiryn Ghermezian

https://49yzp92imhtx8radn224z7y1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/gerald-butler.jpg (https://49yzp92imhtx8radn224z7y1-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/gerald-butler.jpg)Gerald Butler showing the remnants of his Malibu home that was destroyed by a wildfire. Photo: Instagram.

Actor Gerald Butler was criticized by pro-Palestinian supporters on social media for backing the Israel military after sharing a photo of his California home that was destroyed by one of the wildfires currently ravaging the state.

Earlier this month, the “300” star attended the annual Friends of the IDF (FIDF) Western Region Gala in Los Angeles, where a record $60 million was raised (https://www.algemeiner.com/2018/11/05/friends-of-idf-raise-record-60-million-at-la-gala/) and then donated to Israeli soldiers. The event was hosted by Israeli-American philanthropist Haim Saban and his wife, Cheryl.
The Scottish actor posted on Sunday on Twitter and Instagram a photo (https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDOMy5Fz69/) of him standing in front of his smoldering remnants of his Malibu home. He said he was “inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters,” and asked his fans to support the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Israel haters commented on his Instagram photo, calling Butler a “f–king Zionist,” a “criminal and a piece of human trash for supporting the IDF,” and claiming that his house burned down “because you support murderers.” One Instagram user wrote,”that [is] what you deserve when you support the Zionists” and another asked Butler, “You ever thought it was Gods karma for raising $60 million dollars for IDF soldiers to kill Palestinians? Just a thought.” Another user wrote “Israhell occupied palestinian land but very soon they will be defeated.”

Twitter users were just as cruel and commented on Butler’s photo, saying, (https://twitter.com/NawidTheGrinder/status/1061856153758392320) “That $60 million you helped raise for the scumbag IDF soldiers in Beverly Hills to further oppress the Palestinian people would really come in handy right now wouldn’t it????!!! Your a scumbag Zionist mouthpiece. I don’t feel a bit sorry for you!!!” Butler was also accused (https://twitter.com/yellowled22/status/1061827633208389632) of backing “the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians” and one post said (https://twitter.com/TONYWILL101/status/1061757755483021312) Palestinians were “constantly losing their homes” to the IDF, “the same terrorists you support and help raise funds for. You should be ashamed.”

Ok, so can you tell me which fire Trump was mostly referring to with his statement about forest management?

So I put words in your mouth? Sort of like what you did to Trump?

That's why I put the pictures of the forests in Malibu first... they have trees there, so trying to make Trump look like a dumbass doesn't work too well.

Then as an aside, I noted that the origination of your talking point was an article by a "scientist" from New Mexico who claimed that the Northern California fires weren't burning forests. That was posted by Republicanguy minutes before you. But the fire up there started in a forest, that entire area is forest a lots of trees, so that article was kinda dumb.

The more deadly fire was in the area with the poor forest management.

From the President of the California Firefighters Union:


Speaking for the emergency services personnel on the ground, the president of the California Professional Firefighters union commented: “Wildfires are sparked and spread not only in forested areas but in populated areas and open fields fuelled by parched vegetation, high winds, low humidity and geography.

“Moreover, nearly 60 per cent of California forests are under federal management, and another two-thirds under private control. It is the federal government that has chosen to divert resources away from forest management, not California,” Brian K Rice said.

Mr Rice further branded Mr Trump’s assertion “ill-timed, ill-informed and demeaning to those who are suffering” as well as “dangerously wrong” in conversation with CNN.

To a leftist, more money is the solution. Trump knows that isn't the solution, and the whole point of his tweet is that the forests are mis-managed, not because they don't get enough money, but because they suck.

Both the federal bureaucracy (staffed by liberals) and the state of California mismanage the land.

If you want the feds to get out of the land management business you should support Trump withdrawing federal funds, it may not be perfection but it would be a step in the right direction.

Due to Santa Ana Winds and the risk of more fires being started by downed power lines, SDG&E (power company) in San Diego County cut off power to the eastern part of the country this past week.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are garnering criticism online for reportedly hiring a team of private firefighters to protect their Hidden Hills home from the devastating wildfires in California.
TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2018/11/12/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-save-neighborhood-fire-hire-private-team/) reported over the weekend that Kimye hired the private team, which was armed with hoses and "tirelessly dug ditches to create a fire break" around their $60 million mansion as fires crept up on their property. Ultimately, their efforts worked, preventing their home from going down in flames like so many other stars' properties in Malibu.
The couple is reportedly also "getting major props from their neighbors" because, in saving the Wests' home, the private team also prevented the Woolsey fire from destroying other homes on their street, as well.
News that the famous couple had secretly hired a private team to protect their own home was faced with backlash on social media this week, with many using their move to highlight the area's wealth gap.

This type of crap really helps you go into the mindset of a leftist..

So, the mega wealthy people who owned mansions in the Malibu hills are not as mega wealthy as Kanye and Kim Kardashian, so they should have all been bailed out by them..

It really never ends.

Envy is insatiable.

It doesn't even go away when everyone is absolutely destitute because within a day or two someone will have built a larger mud hut, found a larger berry patch or caught a bigger fish than anyone else.

The Colorado river is zapped before it even reaches California. Also.... there are hidden agendas to force the nation into global warming laws, if George Soros would go as far as stealing elections on tuesday, why would he give a damn about setting fire to forests to cause even more chaos? everyone assumes that these california fires are just normal? I call bullshit, there is something behind them that smells fishy..its dry in california but you have TO BE JOKING ....this is year after year after year , and the same whiners and complainers who cause it by supporting liberals want more government salvation.

Official story is transformers exploding/downed power lines... I think that is true of the Thomas Fire last year, as well as the two in Malibu and the Camp Fire.

I think the sentiment is more that Kimye should have let the neighborhood burn rather than redistribute their wealth for selfish means. There's no "greater good" in letting that mansion stand. Letting it burn would have created construction jobs.

Yes, this is satire.

I suspect that the West's property manager was simply smarter than the neighbors and diligent enough to find this service and hire them. Probably not something that's in the Yellow Pages.

I'm not against the idea that they could use wildfires to clear the land.. but most of the train path goes through desert/valleys that have not been burning. The fires are in the mountains, they won't be building the railway up there.

Not to mention the fire map is totally wrong..

What if we didn't pay taxes and instead collectively hired private firefighters? :eek: (and volunteer when necessary)

Just saying.

You would get a free rider problem.

That might however be acceptable in a rural setting where managing your own fire risks is more important than how your neighbors managed theirs in determining whether your property burns.

In older times, fire protection was basically a private business. If you were paid up, they put a token or seal on the building to show you were covered. If you caught fire and had a token, they would help put it out. No token, no help. Problem could be if your neighbor wasn't covered and his burning house threatened yours. If nobody put out their fire, it could threaten your residence.

Fire marks
Fire marks were used to identify – and advertise – different insurance companies. These marks were placed on the outside insured buildings.

If a building was on fire, several brigades would attend as quickly as possible. The different brigades would use the fire marks to work out if a building was insured by their parent company. If they didn't see their specific fire mark attached to the building, they would leave the property to burn.

As well as fire marks, firefighters wore brightly coloured uniforms to distinguish themselves from rival insurance brigades. However, firefighters received little training and the equipment used remained very basic.

Did you know?
You can still see some old fire marks on buildings today – don't forget to look up as you walk around older parts of London.

Trump, speaking about California wild fires, compared Californian forests to the Finish ones...

Very stable genius at work again...

California vs Finland. You don't need to be a stable genius to know why one may have a bushfire problem and the other doesn't.
Trump is the biggest moron to ever be put in charge of a serious country. How do Americans bear it?
