WHITE PLAINS — In the wake of the Bengal Tiger fire, the city Building Department will survey how many downtown businesses, especially bars and restaurants, have sprinkler systems.
The survey, which was requested by the Common Council last week, could be used to try to push more businesses to add sprinklers in their buildings, council President Thomas Roach said.
"We want everyone with sprinklers because it can save lives, as well as preserve property, and make the city a better place to live and work in," Roach said.
