Burnt Ramen closed due to safety issues
Famed DIY show spot, Burnt Ramen in Richmond, California has been closed down. The city's Fire, Code Enforcement, and Planning departments closed the venue/living space down last Friday. Six people were living at the location and were told that they could not return until the violations were corrected. The inspections were prompted by the recent Ghost Ship fire in Oakland which claimed the lives of 36 people. Items needed to bring the venue back to code include 10 battery-powered smoke detectors, three ABC-rated fire extinguishers, five first aid kits, 20 ground fault circuit interrupter or ground fault interrupter wall outlets, two exit signs and 10 monoxide detectors, a roll-out ladder to provide an upstairs fire escape, and an extra-large framed steel door that opens out and has a safety push bar.
