CA Dance Club fire tragedy
December 3, 2016 at 10:20 am
Just saw a report that possibly dozens have been killed in a massive fire at a warehouse type night club.
This is breaking news this AM

That's terrible. Nightclubs have a tendency to catch fire with lots of people in them. I'll not be frequenting one . . . ever.

So this was maybe an artist's loft?
No alarms, no sprinklers, apparently.
ETA: Oh, never mind. Not a proper loft.

An artist's collective ... lots of oils and thinners, a staircase made out of wood pallets, party on the second floor ...

I think this is why it's so important for nightclubs to have a large number of emergency exits and, obviously, a good sprinkler system.
How horrible though
