Kind of something to think about for dancers, club employees, and customers alike, whether you're at work or out with your friends at another type of nightclub.
I've been watching coverage of the horrible nightclub fire in Rhode Island Thursday night (96 dead so far as possibly more may succumb to their injuries) and I've kind of been thinking about my situation when I'm at the strip club. Until something like this happens, you tend to take things like fire codes and emergency exits for granted.
While the potential of a fire from pyrotechics at a strip club isn't likely, there could be a number of other sources where a fire could start (electrical, kitchen, nutcase with a molotov cocktail).
The club you're at could be made of the same ramshackle construction materials and that a full blown inferno could develop in seconds. Do take into consideration that you're in a poorly lit environment that may also have mirrored walls which can be difficult to navigate under normal conditions. Throw in some acrid black smoke and finding your way out may be next to impossible. When were out to have a good time, we're not always thinking the best of our safety, particularly when we get a little alcohol in our systems.
I just urge everybody here to take precautions, whether at work, or out having a good time with your friends and make yourself aware of how you're going to evacuate the premises should the unthinkable occur. Many of the people killed Thursday night died trying to cram through the only exit they knew about.
Find out where those back exits are. Inquire with management if you're unsure. Nobody needs to lose their life under those circumstances.
