TO: ►tialte► R. Benson, City Administrator <br />FROM: Thomas J. Jacobs, Fire Inspector <br />DATE: August 27, 1984 <br />SUBJECT: Big Island Veterans Camp - Fire Code Violations <br />On August 24, 1984, a inspection was conducted at the above subject <br />property. On this inspection, I met with Richard Becker, Camp <br />Manager, to follow-up on corrections which were required to be <br />completed on this date as follows: <br />1. Have an authorized electrician check facility for <br />proper wiring. <br />2. Provide a plan of how electrical corrections will be made. <br />3. Repairs to electrical should be started to make the 60 <br />day deadline. <br />4. Dining room occupant load posted. <br />5. Use of plcistic trash cans stopped. <br />6. Stairs at south entrance repaired or replaced. <br />7. Provide handrails on stairs. <br />8. Discontinue use of extension cords. <br />9. Discontinue use of fan in dining area cord in bad shape. <br />10. Discontinue use of multiplug adapters. <br />11. Check on inspection, maintenance, and recharging program <br />which was to be set up. <br />12. Discontinue all bonfires, and open fires until permit <br />is issued. <br />13. Board up all windows and doors at bath house and arch <br />building. <br />We went to check the fuse boxes, I found black soot around one box which <br />was not there before. I also found four 60 amp fuses which had blown. <br />I asked Mr. Becker if there was a problem and he said that they had blown <br />that day because they had the oven and grill on at the same time. I also <br />pointed out to Mr. Becker that the wires hanging out of the fuse boxes <br />were illegal, and that the fuses were over heating and melting the <br />holders. No attempt has been made to abate any of the required <br />corrections. <br />
