Fast Track Auction reviews and complaints

FTA business practices are starting to change and improve, while public safety measures are being increased... I wonder if FTA has learned that ignoring public and government concerns about unsafe business operations and procedures can cause increased company expenses to ensure full legal compliance.

In fact, FTA was apparently cited for local fire code and safety concerns or violations several times in 2015-16 by the local Fire Chief and Fire Marshall for Union Township. FTA was supposedly inspected and possibly cited for the following alleged fire code violations around the 4th of July and Thanksgiving Holidays that may include:
1.) overcrowded parking lots that could not enable Fire Trucks to have quick access in case of an emergency,
2.) an over-packed, dimly lit, and cluttered warehouse with flammable paper packaging boxes or large items placement blocking crowded isles that create hazardous safety conditions,
3.) too many employees and customers people allowed entrance at the same time within the warehouse and caused a fire safety evacuation hazard in case of a fire or disaster,
4.) insufficient placement or lack of adequate fire exit signs,
5.) unconfirmed rumors that some fire exit doors were locked for company security to prevent unauthorized building access or theft

The local Fire Marshall and Staff now complete regular unannounced inspections at McMann Rd and FTA had to address these concerns and possible citations by:
1a.) requiring customer traffic to enter/exit the warehouse on the opposite side of the building where there is more open physical space for parking.
2a.) cluttered warehouse isles were cleaned up, better lighting installed and large overhead racks removed for customer access and safety while customer pick ups were moved to a more open area in the Warehouse. FTA reduced the amount of auction items stored and sold at McMann Rd and expanded to multiple warehouse locations in Cincinnati to address the Fire Marshall's concerns. However despite improvements at McMann Rd., some other FTA franchise locations continue to have the same types of problems. It is not known if other Fire Marshalls are aware of safety concerns with these other FTA locations.
3a.) The McMann Rd Warehouse now has an admission limit set by the Fire Marshal to a maximum of 250 people within the Warehouse Building at any given time. FTA Senior Management offices have apparently moved out of this Warehouse to another location.
4a.) Visible placement of Fire and Exit Signs for public and employee safety are now in place.
5a.) Internal Locks and chains on locked Fire Exits Doors were removed in the past few years.

IMHO, FTA only made these changes when public complaints were filed with local Fire Department and investigated by the Fire Marshall. The safety of FTA Employees, Staff, and Consumers should not be reduced or ignored when a Company takes no action on these concerns solely to make more profit.
