Welcome to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center!

Public Safety Exhibitor Requirements

The information contained in this brief outline does not by any means cover completely the ordinances and regulations contained in the "Village of Rosemont Fire Prevention Code." The following are basic rules governing concession, exhibits and shows in any building open to the public.

PLANS

Exhibitors having pillars in their booths with a fire extinguisher or a fire hose on them are required to submit (3) scaled floor plans of their exhibit to the Fire Department. Plans that are rejected will be sent back to the submitter for correction. Plans that are approved will be sent to the submitter and facility.

COMBUSTIBLES

Show management shall advise all exhibitors that booths shall be cleaned up of combustible rubbish daily.

EXHIBIT BOOTHS

All draperies, back drops, booth partitions, and table coverings shall be of non-combustible or fire retardant materials.

ELECTRICAL

All wiring and hook ups, flood lights, etc., must meet village code. If an extension cord is used on display equipment, it should be of adequate size, U.L. approved, be in operable condition, and three wire grounded. If in doubt of access availability for power need, or when requiring more than normal power, check in advance with the show electrician.

NO STORAGE

No storage of any kind is allowed behind the backdrapes. All unwanted containers and refuse should be placed in the aisle directly in front of the exhibit for housekeeping removal.

Any automobile, motorcycle, truck, boat, or other equipment burning Class 1 fuel shall comply with the following requirements:

1. The fuel supply for 4-piston and under engines shall be none.
