All,
And not just in Crans-Montana Switzerland on New Years.
There are numerous examples worldwide and here in North America of some horrible club/public occupancy fires.
While watching the fire in Switzerland last night-we could not help but think of so many others-such as:
=The Cocoanut Grove in Boston
=The Happy Land Social Club in The Bronx
=The Beverly Hills Supper Club in KY near Cincinnati:
…AND ESPECIALLY THE STATION NIGHTCLUB FIRE IN WEST WARWICK, R.I.
If you haven’t ever seen these videos-(or haven’t seen them in a while)-including the re-creations of THE STATION NIGHTCLUB FIRE (with and without fire sprinklers) …here ya go….they are extremely graphic and a reality check.
These links are especially of sobering value when you/we encounter those who fight against tough and proven life saving fire safety regulations, strict code enforcement & mandatory residential and public occupancy automatic fire sprinklers.

Our condolences to all those affected by these fires, and especially most recently in
Crans-Montana (Switzerland) at the Le Constellation bar… the victims, their families and those Firefighters and emergency service personnel who responded.
Take Care. Be Careful. Pass It On.
