TENT HAS BEEN RED-FLAGGED

The temporary permit for the Tent (aka "the pavilion") expired yesterday.

This morning, Desert Hills Fire officially "red tagged" it, which means that it cannot be occupied for any purposes other than construction or deconstruction.

The Aldridges have applied for a PERMANENT permit with the County, but that will only be granted if and when the tent meets all of the appropriate fire code requirements.  This would include proper ingress and egress for emergency vehicles (need to have a road first -- the HOA is standing firm on not giving permission to use the HOA roads), installing a sprinklering system inside the tent, providing an appropriate hydrant system with appropriate water volume, etc. 

According to the Fire Department, non-compliance with this order (as in letting anyone into the tent who is not a contractor or sub-contractor) would be a CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
