Was this building sprinklered ? I can't believe a building this large filled with clothing and cardboard would not be. Some of the pics from the PJ show the companies drafting, No hydrants either?

I believe I read somewhere that there was a cistern on the property, and that the tankers were brought in ahead of the cistern running dry.

 

I also was curious about sprinklers...they are investigating the possibility that it was arson, so maybe they were shut off?
