When the building is completed it will have a fully functioning sprinkler system that will dramatically help suppress fires so that residents can egress the building in case of a fire. The buildings that burned did not have the systems up and running yet. You might as well get used to seeing wood frame construction because the costs of the alternatives are much higher. Wood frame construction gets a project within budget. Otherwise projects won't be built. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-64519311602098302772017-03-24T20:07:35.340-05:002017-03-24T20:07:35.340-05:00In California they have 7 story all wood framed co...In California they have 7 story all wood framed construction apartment buildings that sit right next to the freeway, 2 years ago one of them burned to the ground.
