Fireworks shows at Lookouts games are on hold after owners of the Majestic 12 Cinema downtown complained that smoke from the blasts triggers the building’s smoke alarms.
On July 23, filmgoers at the Majestic reported that the fire alarms went off during a late showing. Some said employees blamed smoke from the fireworks show at AT&T Field that got into the theater’s heating and air conditioning system.
Friday, Hamilton County Chancellor Frank Brown issued a restraining order that stops the Lookouts from “setting off fireworks which generate smoke sufficient to trigger the fire alarm at the Theater (sic).”
But exactly how much smoke is that?
“I don’t understand the order as it’s worded,” Lookouts owner Frank Burke said Saturday.
