Supposedly no sprinklers. They are doing helicopter rescues from the roof.

Did they rescue the guy hanging out the window?

I assume. I got texted the video and it cuts out as the hook and ladder is extending towards him

Residents leap from L.A. high-rise after blaze breaks out on 6th floor, fire officials say
Video shows heavy flames inside the building and thick black smoke pouring from at least one balcony and several windows. As flames raged inside the building, a resident was seen climbing out of a window to escape. The person was rescued by firefighters, according to reports from the scene.

That's why the fire marshals are PITA to deal with.
Fire sprinklers work.

No one "leaped" from the building.

They reach 100',but it all depends on how close you can get to the objective. Typically we say they're good to the roof of a 6 story building, so this guy was very lucky. That ladder looks to be fully extended and they just barely got him.
