By CBSLA Staff, CBS Los Angeles: LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A David Goldstein investigation has found dozens of fire safety violation reports for Los Angeles International Airport, some of which inspectors said have been repeatedly ignored. "I'm concerned about the safety of LAX," John Vidovich, a former L.A. fire marshal, said after seeing the fire safety violations reports obtained from the Los Angeles Fire Department. "I think not only passengers, but employees working there, sure, could be at risk." In total, there were 77 fire life safety violations written up at LAX since January 2020 in the reports. They included sprinkler system, fire alarms and fire door violations in just about every single terminal at the airport.
