The biggest days of the whole Carnival season are still ahead of us, and businesses in the French Quarter need to be able to handle the crowds. Especially when it comes to fire safety.
The state fire marshal’s office checked bars on Bourbon Street this week making sure that everyone was up to code, since in a few days Bourbon Street will transform into the epicenter for tourists.
State Fire Marshal’s communications director, Ashley Rodrigue, says “We’re making sure all of the fire safety requirements that we need to see in place are in place and are operational and ready to go, to take on those extra crowds.”
Mambo’s Rooftop Bar has only been open since June. Their first Mardi Gras is quickly approaching and they are getting geared up.
