Familes flock to haunted attractions every year. nat screaming running out some cant handle it. 4 53 35 we have about 150 each year that enter, and then go back out. They wont go. But theres one thing no one wants. A final scare. That goes much too far. fade to video back in 1984 eight teens entered a six flags haunted castle attraction and never came out after a fire trapped them inside the structure. There were no smoke alarms or sprinklers inside. 4 14 13 the disorientating nature, people are not familiar with the layout of a building, its important to have Safety Measures in place. Des moines fire Marshal Jonathan lund says thirty years later. Haunted houses have a whole new set of rules for how they get their frights. Smoke alarms, sprinklers, lighted exits, and a kill turns on the lights to easily get out are required. And flamable material like black plastic coverings and dead end mazes have been banned. 4 55 08 it was hard an investment costing thousands for haunts like linns my sprinkler systems, go above and below, you dont normally need to do that but i did. In order to legally operate a Haunted House in des moines , it has to be inspected by the Fire Department. 5 08 38 they check it out really check it a process that means now.

And its hard to keep them closed. 4 19 18 location changes or short duration events, it might be next monday we find out, and its packed up and gone, its a big challenge for us. And theres another loophole. Many smaller communities never created a Haunted House safety ordinance. Which means the houses can move shop over there. And legally open. nats pop here that was the case in Pleasant Hill, up until last year. When the city council changed code to enforce Safety Measures. Two out of three long open haunts that had been open for years one from trying to open up anyway in 2014. The Pleasant HillFire Department was tipped off that White Water University opened its their doors despite failing the inspection. Des moines quickly interupped. And shut it down while attempting to pay to enter. Its Owner Craig Smith spoke to us a few days afterwards. He said tried to stay open with a permit because he didnt feel his attraction was dangerous. Make sure the date is on the video and super it wasnt last year, or the last 30 years. Its all in the eyes of the beholder. What the city wants done. Fire Department Found in their inspection that it filled with graphics materials, lacked fire extinguishers and had no sprinkler system. Its a risk safety enough to send your family screaming. And leaving behind. 4 15 25 its just a hazardous environment in general. Reporting in des moines Nikki Davidson local five news we are iowa.
