Buildings too close w/o Firewalls
Buildings seem too close without firewalls.
During the process of purchasing my building from Jim and Marlena Walls, I was informed that the building was in full compliance with fire code. In fact, that building was the basis on which the construction manual for the Ohio Renaissance Festival was created. Jim Walls, one of the former Craft Directors, had been with the Ohio Renaissance Festival for years. He informed me that back in the day, the local municipality insisted on building code being met. For that reason, my building was equipped with a proper firewall, hardwired smoke detectors in every room, a circuit breaker box, proper underground wiring, an occupancy permit, and records of inspection.
Under Code Wiring?
Dangerous Under Code Wiring?
Before we start, let me tell you that I am not an electrician. I have, however, spoken to a union electrician about the problems I believe I have found at the Ohio Renaissance Festival and he is amazed that the place remains in business. He tells me the place poses a serious fire hazard as well as a threat to human life. I am inclined to believe him.
