NEW YORK — A man was killed in a raging apartment fire on Saturday in the New York City skyscraper named for President Donald Trump and where his business is based, officials said. “The apartment is quite large.”A 67-year-old man who was in the apartment was taken to a hospital and died a short time later, the New York Police Department said. The upper floors, the residence floors, are not sprinklered.”Fire sprinklers were not required in New York City highrises when Trump Tower was completed in 1983. The 664-foot Trump Tower has 58 stories, though the top floor is numbered 68. Trump’s family has an apartment on the top floors, but he has spent little time in New York since taking office.
