Nightclub Fire Safety



A local business owner says it's hard to fathom the disaster that took place this weekend in a Brazil nightclub. Tom Jennings, owner of Czar's 505 in St. Joseph was reacting to a fire that killed 233 people Sunday morning, as they tried escaping a nightclub reportedly 1,000 people over capacity. When it comes to fire safety at Czar's, Jennings says a sprinkler system is the first line of defense.
