I work in entertainment, and have requests to do this all the time. It’s just a fire exit, we won’t need it, we don’t have anywhere else to put these road cases, we talked with the fire marshal and he okayed it, etc…

Yeah, I guess y’all have never heard of the The Station nightclub, or Cocoanut Grove, or the Kiss club in Brazil, or the Rhythm Club, or… Well, I could go on. All of them caused by some combination of bad planning and blocked exits. I can almost guarantee that every single club, theater, church, auditorium, or banquet room you’ve ever been in has been asked to block/lock/barricade the fire escapes at some point. And only the smart ones have refused.
