Capitol Is Fire Hazard HARRISBURG (UPI) The Department of Labor and Industry has released a report which details 140 fire and safety violations in the Main Capitol building. Theodore Berlin, chairman of the House committee which requested the Labor and Industry evaluation, said today the same violations in a private or commercial building would have resulted in the closing of the facility. "We are advised that because this building must stay open it does so inspite of the violations. They probably would have cited a private building and either forced them to close or revitalize," Berlin said.

Berlin said violations cited in the report "ranged from very minor infractions to a few major ones like insufficient egress from the building, no emergency lighting and overcrowding." The report also said there is an abandoned open elevator shaft in the building. "Everyone who occupies this building at any time is in imminent danger," Berlin said. The Main Capitol houses 1,340 employes, most of them in either the governor's office or the legislature. The Department of General Services has begun to correct some of the minor infractions like frayed wiring. Berlin said, however, that repairs requiring structural changes will be delayed pending a full systems and structural analysis of the building, which should take about six months.
