Guest imported_Europe Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Safety test burns club to ground A strip club owner burned his club to the ground while trying to prove it was fire-proof to health and safety inspectors. Benedict Frank, owner of the Cabaret Club in Kienberg, Switzerland, started the blaze to show how fire-proof it was when he was visited by safety inspectors. They had questioned whether his decorations were in accordance with fire safety rules, and he used his lighter to set fire to the paper ornaments in a bid to prove there was nothing to worry about. But the fire quickly took off and spread throughout the club and the neighbouring restaurant - burning both establishments to the ground. According to local police no one was hurt in the fire, but the damage amounts to more than £300,000. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1620950.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Wallbanger Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Wow... I bet that guy had a really sheepish look on his face when they finally put out the fire. There's one for the "Awkward Situations" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
