Evan Duke, Fire House Booking Agent, says "It ran a chill up my spine when I thought that Jack Russell had come here and asked us if he could do the pyro here and we declined. I'm just really glad we decided to do that."

Duke says a couple months ago the lead singer of Great White played here. He wanted to use his pyro-show.

"It's just safer for us to not go there," said Duke.

Fire House Owner Louie Gadini was so nervous about it he "had to fly back here just to make sure we had no problems."

Gadini says it's too risky and too great a liability, even though the Fire House has six exits and a sprinkler system.

The club disaster also alarmed local Fire Departments. Chief Gregory Dean with the Seattle Fire Department says "It reinforces the fact that we do need to be doing inspections."

In Seattle any club that wanted a so-called 'fire show' would have to jump through hoops. They're basically banned and a group would need a permit along with a $2 million insurance policy.

As for exits and sprinklers and other code violations, Seattle Fire admits some clubs might not comply. "I would assume there are clubs that would have an outstanding notice of violation for whatever reason," says Dean.

The Fire Marshal says the violations could include: out of date fire extinguishers, exit lights not working, or a club that exceeds it's occupancy limit.

Fire fighters say clubs and bands are responsible for everyone's safety. But so are the patrons. Club Patron Nicole Rasmussen explains "Definitely you make a mental note when you walk in where the exits are, run through a quick escape route."
