There is an extremely wealthy family in the town where we lived for twenty years. About a week ago, a member of their family married; and the family rented an exclusive restaurant and club east of the city for the dinner and reception.
At some point, the family had contacted a company to provide a fireworks extravaganza. The company had followed the protocol getting a permit from the proper authorities to provide the fireworks show.
However, due to the drought in that area, a fire ban was in effect. In fact, the city cancelled its fireworks display held each year on July 4th.
The company went forth with its fireworks at the wedding nonetheless. Sparks set several small grass fires. The fire department was called and thought the fire was out.
Everyone left, the fire re-ignited, spread to the building, blew up a propane tank, and the building was destroyed.
Now, all interested parties, including the fire department, are pointing fingers at the next person. So, who do you think is a fault here--the family, the fireworks company, or the fire department?
