NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Fire Department says 135 people were safely evacuated from a New Orleans high-rise after a fire sparked early Thursday morning.

A fire caused by unattended cooking triggered sprinklers in a 14-story New Orleans high-rise, leading to major water damage and a evacuation, NOFD says.

Fire crews worked early Wednesday to put out a fire that tore through a patio on a Center City high-rise building early Wednesday.

High-rise buildings in the city are governed by the National Building Code (NBC), which lays down fire protection standards to safeguard life and property.

It is the responsibility of the Fire and Emergency Services to inspect high-rise buildings to verify whether or not such buildings are fire safety compliant.
