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.

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.
