Milwaukee Orders Fire Inspection of Landmark Credit Union Live After Alarm Halts Dethklok Show

The review could lead to clearer emergency rules at the months-old venue.

Overview

  • The Department of Neighborhood Services scheduled a fire inspection for Tuesday following Saturday’s false alarm that cut short Dethklok’s concert.
  • Milwaukee Fire Department crews arrived around 10 p.m. and determined the activation was a false alarm with no cause found.
  • Fans described 20 to 30 minutes of blaring alarms and emergency lights with little direction from staff, leaving many unsure whether to evacuate.
  • Landmark Credit Union Live said it is reviewing the incident and will issue a full refund to all ticket holders.
  • Venues must draft their own fire safety plans for city approval, which can address how special-effects fog and sensor placement are managed.
