Fort Worth fire marshals are increasing patrols around entertainment hotspots this week ahead of what's expected to be a big week for people who want to go out. Code enforcement is on standby in case bars or restaurants are not following COVID-19 protocols. The Fort Worth Fire Department is expecting a busy holiday weekend for restaurants and bars. So they’re preparing to make stops around town starting Wednesday to make sure business owners and patrons are following state laws and county orders. “As good as intentions as there have been, it has been a big challenge for everybody to try to adapt to these required changes,” said Fort Worth Fire Chief Jim Davis. Those include 50% occupancy for bars, 75% for restaurants and a mask on your face when you're not eating or drinking.
