A/B bars w/out sprinklers face closure

Mary Ann's and Big City will be closed for failure to comply with the Fire Safety Act of 2004 unless new sprinklers are installed today. The law requires entertainment venues with capacities greater than 100 people to install sprinklers by Nov. 15, 2007. The law allowed local fire officials to grant one-year extensions on the deadline.
