It’s pretty wild how antisemitic and other racist comments are still flying when someone was just killed by a fire, have some respect
This app attract bigots because they love feeling scared of the world. The comment section will always be disproportionally nasty.
Prayers 🙏🙏
@brooklynUser1950750002 A vertical pipe in the building that enables the firemen to hook up their hoses. Usually full of water. Most of the time they’re located in the stairwells in highrise buildings.
How was there no standpipe??
