Monte Carlo fire
In a sidebar, inconspicuously tucked away, Review-Journal reporter Lawrence Mower nails the forward-looking angle on the Monte Carlo fire. If you're like me, you were probably alarmed at the alacrity with which the rooftop blaze spread. (The good news is that the internal fire-containment systems worked the way they're supposed to. Score one for MGM Mirage.) According to the main bar, the culprit is thick foam, clad in a "cementacious material" (great terminology), which turns out to be fire's best friend.
In his sidebar, Mower makes several worrisome citations, including that "six to eight high-rise buildings in the Las Vegas Valley" are cosseted in this fire-friendly stuff. Also, state law gives them a pass on current, more-restrictive regulations governing the use of this flammable faux-stucco material. Here's hoping that the owners of those high rises take a proactive course and replace that construction foam on their own initiative, without having to be compelled. The Monte Carlo fire was a wake-up call.
Will we heed it?
