At least 86 people are counted among the dead today following a fire that destroyed The Station Concert Club in West Warwick, R.I. The fire was attributed to pyrotechnics displays employed by the band Great White.

Great White performed three times last month in Hawai'i but did not use any pyrotechnic displays at the shows at Gussie L'Amour's, said California promoter Paul Woolnough. The band performed Jan. 18, 19 and 20 at the popular Nimitz Highway nightclub.

But the Rhode Island fire, coupled with another deadly nightclub stampede in Chicago on Monday, the Honolulu Fire Department is considering resuming limited inspections of clubs beginning next week.

Battalion Chief Lloyd Rogers of the fire prevention bureau, today said the department had discontinued regular night-time inspections of clubs in 1996 because the problems being found did not warrant full-time investigation. Most of the five to 10 complaints a year involved overcrowding, he said.
