Bill Conner ASTC replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations"I would be interested to know where you have seen a fire safety curtain work in "real life" - protect audience - and where you have seen a deluge system fail to work in "real life". I've not found one case in nearly…"
KEN BERNSTEIN commented on Taylor Jene Sullivan's blog post Arcadia Walls"Nice work. Your flats would square up better if you routed the luan off instead of running through table saw. but if you do have to cut it first make sure to use the factory edges on the outside edges of the wall. Another way to…"
KEN BERNSTEIN commented on Rich Dionne's blog post How to be an Intern"Rich,
This is a really good post that all perspective interns should read. But I would add #6 Learn the 5 things above and follow them every day of your career. I have been doing this for over 4 decades and I still try to learn…"
Robert Durie replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations"Always get it in writing from the most responsible party you can think of. A note...a FM in the local jurisdiction may have no idea as to the proper implementation of the correct fire code. Keep handy your current copy of the NYCFC. and when in…"
KEN BERNSTEIN commented on Rich Dionne's blog post Oh boy...Another Oversized Crown Molding..."Styrofoam moldings are great and it sounds like the prices have come down. but if you do do them out of wood or even styrofoam, you should always plan structure in your walls to attach to. It is never a good idea to attach only to luaun unless…"
KEN BERNSTEIN commented on Richelle Thompson's blog post Everyone is a PR Person"In a management seminar a few years we were warned about this. You never know who is sitting next to you. It could be the best friend/neighbor of the person you are talking about. Always watch what you say in public. And Stephen I…"
Dr. Randall W.A. Davidson replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations" State by state, sadly differs in enforcement of Fire Regulations. My take, for all my years, is the need for the fire curtain TO FULLY DROP AND CLOSE THE PROSCENIUM OPENING. Scenery which impedes this line does not fulfill the total impact of…"
Michael Powers replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations"As Erich said, if the deck goes full width, your only issues are incorporating a firewall in the structure to match the FC line, and how to seal the small gap between the sides and proscenium. If your platforming is not full width, different…"
Erich Friend replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations"You don't say if it is a segment of platform that penetrates the plane of the Fire Curtain, or if it is a full stage width deck. A full stage width deck is much easier to deal with because the entire fire curtain would be resting upon it,…"
Michael Mell replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations"The purpose and intent of a fire curtain is to keep smoke and flames away from the audience. Landing the FC on a piece of fire-proofed scenery will not close off the stage area. Even if the fireproof scenery spans the entire width of the…"
KEN BERNSTEIN replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations"The venue manager is willing to interface
with the fire Marshall once
I provide the information.
This is a city facility so it works better this way"
Jacob Coakley replied to KEN BERNSTEIN's discussion fire curtain regulations"Ken - Unfortunately, I don't think the venue is where you need to get final approval on this. I think if you're doing something like this you need to get the fire marshall's approval... Could be wrong, though. Interested what other…"

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mr.frankkwabena@yahoo.com.hk ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
