Just shot a quick interview with Robert Solomon, NFPA's division manager of Building & Life Safety Codes. Robert is one of the resident experts on nightclub safety and he answered a number of questions about this weekend's deadly fire at the Kiss nightclub in Santa Maria, Brazil.
As of this morning, the death toll currently stands at 231 dead and hundreds more injured.
We should have the video interview edited and posted on this blog in the next few hours. Stay tuned.
