Report: Human error, inadequate fire alarm contributed to Provo Tabernacle fire (Mormonism)
ABC4 (Salt Lake City) ^ | March 31, 2011

Posted on 04/10/2011 3:21:19 PM PDT by Colofornian

PROVO, Utah (ABC 4 News) - The Provo City Fire Department has released the full report on the December Provo Tabernacle fire.

The 135-page report outlines events leading up to the fire from December 17th that destroyed the historic landmark in Provo.

Trax Lighting and AV arrived at the Tabernacle a few days before the fire to setup lighting for a concert that was to be taped by BYU Broadcasting.

During the setup of a lighting truss, a technician said he set aside two lamps that were part of the in-house lighting system.

Fire officials believe these lights were placed too close to a speaker which started the fire two days later.

The report notes a number of circumstances and human errors that contributed to the unintentionally set fire.

Provo fire says the fire alarm in the building was inadequate and failed an inspection on December 2nd, two weeks before the fire.

The fire alarm system was only monitored in the building, meaning an alarm wouldn't automatically trigger a response from the fire department.

There was also not an automatic sprinkler system in the building that fire official believe would have controlled the fire.

The fire alarm system had a history of false alarms that may have have lead building personnel to "become apathetic to the system as a whole."

At 1:10am the morning of the fire, a fire alarm was triggered and a security guard disabled the alarm and did not contact the fire department, delaying a response to the fire by nearly an hour and a half.

Dunno, I’ve already stated multiple times that Mormonism is not Christian and they are not saved in the eyes of Jesus. What else do you want?

Gottcha, this thread is nothing but flame bait and zot material.

After reading your comments, in my opinion you are not very likely to get zotted for any of them. At most the mod may tell you to "leave the thread"

The ones who get zotted on the religion forum are the ones who just can't seem to be able to stop themselves from accusing Christians of murder, arson and other mayhem and calling them "nazis" - in other words, mormons.

I don’t recall personal attacks and hate being among those methods.

I won't embarass you and ask you to point out 'HATE', but could you show a PERSONAL attack so I can admonish that person who typed it not to do it any more?

Once again, you find EVIL anti-MORMONs but never seem to care about the folks who have screwed up JUDISM more than Christians are alledged to have done.

Well, in defense of Magritte, he'd have to come across liberal Jews on a Web site like this for that to become obvious to us...for some reason, they just don't seem to frequent these sites...

(Still, I'd be interested if that was on his radar screen beyond FR)

Ok, I agree.

So what is it you are opposing here on this thread. You seem to be a little contentious with posters.

Didn’t this fire initally cause a lot of excerize on FR?

No. Don't think so. I think there's only been a couple of threads since this fire focusing on this.

I don't recall Mormon FReepers making any innuendos of this type re: the PROVO fire.

There was a Dec '10 thread where they highlighted how a portrait of Christ in the center of the blaze survived.

But that just reinforces my original post: Christ is the only Way ANY of us can be "singe-free" beyond death. Elsewise, the Mormon structure will burn in eternity. (Well, all on earth will melt for that matter; won't be limited to that which is 'Mormon'). But those who are trusting the Mormon church membership as their "way" are substituting a false route...dangerous biz.

Whine to the boss and mod, they’ll read my entire reply, not just the part you quoted out of context.

Everything's right with the world - well, not everything but I've developed somewhat of a thick skin on these type threads and don't lose any sleep over what's said here. I sincerely pray that Mormons see that bright and shining Light and truly come to the Lord.

God bless you and yours.

I really really dislike hidden agendas.

So; bring them to light!

I have pity for folks who accuse others and then cannot or will not show the evidence they have based their accusations upon.

Have a good eternity.

Well; it’s morning here in the Heartland and some of us have to go to work.

I hope today is a good one for all Freepers; the ones with whom I agree and also the guys with whom I disagree.

Hopefully MY feathers got smoothed out in the night, and I’ll be less confrontational today.

What else do you want?

Just some clarification.

1. Folks have been ragging on MORMONism in this thread.
2. You seem upset that that has happened, yet you explain that you, too, think MORMONism is wrong.

Can you understand my confusion?

“1. Folks have been ragging on MORMONism in this thread.”

I have not been ragging on Mormons or mormonism.

“You seem upset that that has happened, “

You have made a mistake.

So no I cannot understand your confusion. Why do you ask so many questions and disregard the answers?
