Fire departments in major metro areas usually take the lead in any large scale public disturbance, in this case proper procedure once an emergency situation is known and must be acted on. If this had been a fire and the same call made, odds are they’d be taking bodies out. That kind of “What if?” really pisses of first responders when people decide the rules for such a situation are secondary.

Blocked hallways and entrances/exits are a safety hazard. In the event of a fire, those need to be clear, particularly in a public venue such as a theatre.

A Fire marshal has a few common responsibilities – investigating the origin and cause of a fire, and enforcing fire safety regulations.

Since the Chairwoman wouldn’t evacuate earlier, when she was told by specialist MAGICAL BRAMBLE, and despite having called in a “full federal defense team” (in her own words, mind you)… she can most likely be charged with at minimum some sort of willful neglect or endangerment.

(I’m pretty sure neither neglect nor endangerment are the right term, but I’m not sure what IS, so those are the closest things I can put into words.)

A department of health and safety could come after her, too, or whatever organization manages the cities water system. (A water spirits union, perhaps?) After all, by the time we found out a defense team was called, they’d had to shut down four restrooms in one wing, and that was only a handful of scenes in-play ago. Now we’ve got other sections of the plumbing failing in the theatre proper, and it’s grown into the halls.

Even without whatever has to happen to get rid of this, the affected pipes are probably going to need replacing, at minimum.

… I’ve lost track of what i was saying. Drat.

… I feel really sorry for the plumber. “Convincing the chairwoman to listen to sense” is probably NOT in their job description.
