Who is the Fire Marshal and why won he let me into the Hyatt?
The Fire Marshal is a perennial DragonCon villain who is responsible for safety in the host hotels. Sometimes the crowds get thick enough, with major people-flow issues which would be very dangerous in the event of a fire, or other evacuation. As such, at times they’ll clamp down on who can or can’t enter the hotels. This is generally exclusive to the Hyatt, although the Marriott will restrict access to non-guests and non-DragonCon attendees.
