WLT�OII <br />r„� ci���r <br />A recent inspection of the outer perimeter of the Monte Cristo <br />Ilotel was made to determine just how unauLhorized perso�is �aere <br />gaining entrance to the bvilding. <br />"vTe are quite sure that the person who set the fire on tlie after- <br />noon of March 18 used one of the fire escapes on the north side. <br />At the time of our inspection on the 12th of April there appeared <br />to be.three avenues of unauthorize3 entry. Two of tliese would <br />be t;ie fire escapes and the third is t:he ol.d freight elevator <br />opening. The reason for our concern :is the possibility of the <br />deliberate setting �f fire to some of the many pieces of fvrniture <br />or other combustible material remaining in the building. If.the <br />fire were to burn undetected for any period of time, it could <br />easily involve the entire bui:ding and create a severe hazard to <br />firefighters attempting to contro7. thc fi.Te. There is also a <br />good possibility that transients �o+ild Ue i,n, the building and <br />become trapped in the firc. <br />Nle wo�ld strongly recommend that further unautho'ri.zcd ent*.y Ue <br />pi•evented by removing the lower sectians of the fire esc.apes and <br />wclding or balting a piece of boiler p]ate over the £relghx elevator <br />ooening. Other openings that have been used in the past appear to <br />be secured at this time. We wou�d. appreciate your notifying this <br />offic•e when the security measures have Ueen completed. , <br />Very truly yours, <br />� =�-� � ��� <br />iValter H.
