    What type of fire code violation? The suppression system they talk about in the article? Or overcrowding? Cause the latter is pretty problematic. Too many people and lots may end up not making it out of a fire starts.

    If it’s the former, maybe they should be arresting the owners of all those other places.

      Headline: Ohio Pastor, Homeless, Cold Weather, City - Legal Action

      Me: It’s fucking Dad’s Place again, isn’t it? Yes. Yes it is.

      This happens every year with this place. And they always make national news. Somehow, this sort of injustice only happens to them. Repeatedly. In a town of less than 10,000 people. In the US’s 7th largest state.

      They’re not equipped to handle the amount of people that they want to accommodate in this facility. They’ve ignored warnings for years. They’ve refused to improve their facilities, but they’re quick to get their story on Facebook whenever there’s a cold snap or snow event. Even if this weather is not happening in Ohio.

      There’s a shelter literally next door to them. [yes - this other shelter has rules about substance use. They are probably also compliant with fire codes.]

      But they’re martyrs here at Dad’s Place! Isn’t it a shame no one will fund them? /s

      Here’s one going back to 2023 https://thevillagereporter.com/gofundme-established-for-dads-place-in-bryan-as-dispute-with-city-continues/

    Honest headline: Ohio pastor faces fines and/or jail due to breaking firecode(s).
