State fire marshal orders corrections; Lake County closes grandstand until suppression system repaired

Fairgrounds Manager Briana Perez told the board the Oregon State Fire Marshal inspected the fairgrounds and issued three orders of correction for the grandstand suppression system, building repairs and kitchen/stove equipment. Perez said the grandstand’s suppression mainframe failed several years ago and much of the lower pipework is in poor condition; corrective work is in progress and the facility will remain closed for events until repairs are complete.
