Omaha Fire Department To Crackdown On St. Patrick's Day Overcrowding


Fire Prevention Bureau To Conduct Special Fire Code Inspections

OMAHA, Neb. -- The Omaha Fire Department announced Wednesday that it will conduct a special evening-hours fire code inspection effort on Saturday.

According to a news release, the goal will be to work with business owners in order to ensure buildings are as fire safe as they can be.

"This is especially important during highly attended events held at public assemblies, such as the scheduled St. Patrick's Day celebrations combined with the NCAA Basketball tourney," according to the release.

The release states that inspections are not expected to disrupt normal business operations, but if a critical code violation or overcrowding situation is noted, a headcount may be conducted. Source: KETV.com
