WHILE INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE why the firefighters and fire inspectors stopped inspecting the Deutsche Bank building over a year ago, it has come to light that “numerous” senior chief officers spent every day there for several months without reporting any fire hazards.

When the demolition of the building began, several pieces of human remains were found on the top floor.  So the city had inspection teams comb the building looking for any more that might be in there.  The teams were composed of forensic scientists, medical examiners, a safety supervisor from the contractor….and fire battalion chiefs.  They were in there day and night, working in shifts, from March 15 until May 29.

So far as can be determined, not a one of them reported on any deficiencies or fire hazards in the building.
