DATE- September 4, 1984 SUBJECT: Big Island Veterans Camp - Fire Code Violations On August 31, 1984, an inspection was cor 'urted to follow up on the corrections which were agreed upon in the i. !eting August 28, 1984, by Mr. Donlin and Mr. Becker. During this inspection I found the follct ing: 1 . No work had been done on the electrical hazards in the dining area. 2. Smoke deLcctcz wert handed out to the camper/occupant of th(- cabins, ') be nstalled by them. Instead of the campers installing them, they put them on the table and left them. One cabin which was rented to campers did not have any smoke detectors, nor did any of the employee cabins. 3. Signs posted on building had been removed. I talked to an employee requesting that he have Mr. Becker call me sc. we could meet at P- =•Is Landing 1-.-fore 4:30 p.m. I did not receive a call from him so I again went to the Island where I found Mr. Becker. I explainer: to him that we had an agreement that the electrical 1,. oblems and smoke detectors were to be corrected. He said they could not g?t an electrician out to fix the problem and that they were handing out smok'I detector-; to the campers. I then explained that he w,.s to install :.heir. because found all the detectors sitting on tables. His reply was that he watched TV and that. the commercials sho:veci that the smoke would get uown to the table level and set them off then the people could crawl out. I then told him that if the smoke did get that low, the occupant would be dead as the table and the I were at the game level. I tt..:. explained that si gre nt made at the rnnetiny was not followed, that the corrc. ,rders were to be en"'reed, an that citations will be issue, :1 violations not corrected. After _nspecting thc area, 11 citations vere issued for the following: 1.. No smoke detectors. ?. Combustible debris on roof of dining hall and cottages. 3.
