live tag : " amanda: for this weekend-- halloween is all about the scare, but the des moines fire department says it's not worth your safety. despite city ordinances that regulate who can open up a haunted house - des moines fire is worried that "quick hit" pop up houses are getting by the inspections meant to keep you safe. amanda: local 5's nikki davidson shares ways to keep you scary safe this halloween. the fun of a haunted house... is the thrill of the unexpected... ( scream) a thrill merlyn linn... a veteran in the business of running a haunted house - (this guy sits back, then comes through when people aren't expecting it) - knows the magic behind giving people what they pay for. 5:07:11 we're more of the suspense type, you can't see your hand in front of your face until we want t u to. familes flock to haunted attractions every year... (nat screaming running out) some cant handle it ...

4:53:35 we have about 150 each year that enter, and then go back out. they won't go.. but there's one thing no one wants...a final scare... that goes much too far. (fade to video) back in 1984 eight teens entered a six flags haunted castle attraction and never came out after a fire trapped them inside the structure... there were no smoke alarms or sprinklers inside. 4:14:13 the disorientating nature, people are not familiar with the layout of a building, it's important to have safety measures in place. des moines fire marshal jonathan lund says thirty years later... haunted houses have a whole new set of rules for how they get their frights. smoke alarms, sprinklers, lighted exits, and a "kill turns on the lights to easily get out are required... and flamable material like black plastic coverings and dead end mazes have been banned. 4:55:08 it was hard! an investment -- costing thousands for haunts like linns my sprinkler systems, go above and below, you don't normally need to do that but i did. in order to legally operate a haunted house in des moines , it has to be inspected by the fire department... 5:08:38 they check it

out really check it a process that means now... linns is the only legal haunted 4:18:03 applications because systems aren't in place. 5:09:19 you can't do it unless you own the building. it's tough. but for fire departments like des moines... the real guys... (nat) its attractions that slip through the law by opening up 4:18:30 it's difficult to some of them are gone notified we're there. does happen nearly every year... and its hard to keep them closed. 4:19:18 location changes or short duration events, it might be next monday we find out, and it's packed up and gone, it's a big challenge for us. and there's another loophole... many smaller communities never created a haunted house safety ordinance ... which means the houses can move shop over there... and legally open. (nats pop here) that was the case in pleasant hill, up until last year... when the city council changed code to enforce safety measures. two out of three long open haunts that had been open for years

one from trying to open up anyway in 2014. the pleasant hill fire department was tipped off that white water university opened its their doors despite failing the inspection. des moines quickly interupped... and shut it down while attempting to pay to enter. it's owner craig smith spoke to us a few days afterwards... he said tried to stay open with a permit because he didn't feel his attraction was dangerous. make sure the date is on the video and super (it wasn't last year, or the last 30 years. it's all in the eyes of the beholder... what the city wants done. fire department found in their inspection that it filled with (graphics) materials, lacked fire extinguishers and had no sprinkler system. its a risk safety enough to send your family -- screaming... and leaving behind. 4:15:25 it's just a hazardous environment in general. reporting in des moines nikki davidson local five news we are iowa.

the des moines fire department reccomends before you head out to a haunted house... you call your local fire department and check to make sure the business is operating with a permit. if you know a place operating without a permit... they want you to give them a call. amanda still to come on local 5 news midday...
