ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Atlantic City firefighters are facing a tall challenge when one of New Jersey's tallest buildings opens next year.
The 710-foot-tall Revel casino is scheduled to open next May. Among New Jersey skyscrapers, only the 781-foot tall Goldman Sachs building in Jersey City is taller.
Fighting a fire at Revel will rely on sprinkler systems and internal pipes, as well as scores of firefighters working from inside the building.
The fire department's tallest ladders can only reach 100 feet.
Fire Chief Dennis Brooks told The Press of Atlantic City his department is already planning and training for Revel.
