re: Tossed cig leads to fire at BJ's Brewhouse in BR

The worst thing I've ever seen has to be the smoking room at Hartsfeld.

They put you on display like the zoo but I never cared. Too busy enjoying a post flight smoke.

I pity your lungs and the people who have to smell you.

Don't wear yourself out. Haven't smoked cigs since my early 20's.

Yeah. It's been 20 years but I still miss a smoke after a long flight. It's one of the only times.

Want to know something funny? The majority of hotels you stay in use the same highly flammable materials on their exterior walls and line the inside with EIFS which is also highly flammable. You get a hole or puncture in the stucco and the EIFS is exposed, major fire hazard. We see it in inspections all the time. Corners get chipped or someone accidentally puts a hole in the wall near the cigarette area and boom, sooner or later there is a fire.

Our building regulations and codes are so far behind the times. The only care is to keep costs low, not actually build safe, secure structures. Look at the idiots in Florida. It is approximately 5-10% more to build a new home with IBHS standards but nobody does it. The one guy who did, his house was the only one standing in his neighborhood after Panama City got hit with the recent hurricane.

According to the St. George Fire Department, crews were called to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse around 3:30 p.m. Thursday. It's unclear how much damage the business sustained in the fire. Investigators later learned the fire was sparked by a cigarette that was improperly disposed of outside. The fire spread from exterior stucco wall and worked its way inside.

First smokers get their outside gaming area at L'Auberge, then to celebrate they set fire to a fine dining establishment. Time to ban all smoking in public, it's a nuisance, it kills people, it stinks, they're expensive and now they're leading to fires. Wow.

Yet, this is just another reason for St. George. St. George can be the first city to ban trashy smoking, making a trail for the rest of the state to follow on education, proper public edicate, and now smoking.

Ha! If you're one of those assholes who hangs in front of a store or restaurant bombarding everyone who exits with smoke, I'll gladly meet you at sonic a-hole.

Of course you need friends to understand this phenomenon

Wow...how many businesses need to burn due to cigs before we ban them completely?

BJ’s Brewhouse sucks.

The beer is pretty good but the food is fricking awful. I could barely chew the steak and the dessert tasted like shite. And the apps, salad, and entrees pretty much all came out at the same time. Will never step foot in there again.
