From the link about the fire inspectors actions being questioned:

Under Rhode Island regulations, ''when a doubt exists'' as to whether a material in a club is fire retardant, the inspector should hold a match under a sample of the material in question for 12 seconds to see if it ignites. The investigator said the panel of officials looking into the blaze believe that the test did not take place.

I think I see who is going to be a party to the civil suit. The taxpayes of the State of Rhode Island will be paying for this in the end. Fire Chief will be out of a job, and who knows, there may be criminal chrages against him as well.
