CONWAY — State fire codes didn’t require the Red Jacket Mountain Resort to have sprinklers, but town ordinances can be stricter, said the town’s emergency management director, Steve Solomon, adding that stricter codes can be hard for some lodging establishments to afford.
The fire that broke out at the Red Jacket on Saturday destroyed the 75-room south wing and displaced about 150 guests. According to the Fox Ridge Resort, a former sister establishment, all the guests have safely returned home.
