Fatalities in high rise condo fires are very rare.  I can't recall Honolulu having one before the Marco Polo fire in the almost 40 years I have lived in Honolulu, but there have been plenty of fatal house fires, one in which seven people died in Pololo in 1997.  Has anyone discussed mandating sprinklers for single family homes and town houses?  I don't recall hearing or reading about it, so why the current obsession with installing sprinklers in all high rises because of one fatal fire in 40 or more years?
