The City of Phoenix requires pools to have an approved fence around them to prevent a child from drowning. Many of these deaths result when young children gain unsupervised access to swimming pools due to inadequate pool fencing. In Arizona, drowning is the leading cause of death in and around the home for children under 5 years old.

#Fire inspection code#
The Phoenix Fire Code requires all indoor assembly occupancies with an occupant load greater than 500 persons ( exception is occupancies used exclusively for religious worship with an occupant load not exceeding 1,000 persons) and outdoor events with an occupant load of 1,000 or more, to be provided with Trained Crowd Managers.

One of these requirements is the need for Trained Crowd Managers. The Fire Code places stringent requirements on assembly venues due to their challenging life safety profiles. All these tragedies share a common factor, they all occurred in a public assembly type venue or event. Most recently on November 5, 2021, 10 people lost their lives and a large number were injured at the Outdoor Astroworld Festival in Houston. On November 28, 1942, 492 people lost their lives at the Cocoanut Grove Night Club fire in Boston and on July 6, 1944, 168 people were killed in a Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus tent fire in Hartford. Public Assemblies, whether indoor venues or outdoor events, can present safety challenges that inherently exist with large crowds.
