Actually both fires had occurred on the same floor of the dorm and within only a matter of minutes from each other. At approximately 11 p.m. a magazine was found burning on top of an ironing board on wing 3B. At first it was thought that a hot iron, near the magazine, was the cause of the fire. Yet later evidence showed that the iron was no where near the burning object. Very little damage was caused due to the asbestos ironing board covers. In a later talk with Keith McLellan, housing director, it appeared thai the magazine had been purposely lit. Roughly 15 minutes after that incident, smoke was noticed coming from the oven of the third floor kitchen. In the oven another magazine was found, although unlike the other, it was covered in some sort of a plastic bag. No damage was caused, yet the smoke was devastating. Just as I was finishing the typing of this story (Monday evening), the fire alarm was sounded around 9:30. The smell of smoke entered the rooms of those who live inSim- mons Hall. This time the fire was not as minute as those from the previous evening, for the members of Simmons' Hall were now being asked to evacuate. As we left the dorm, immediately the members of the third floor began explaining what had happened. This time a larger fire was discovered in the storage room, now a prayer chapel, located in the third floor lounge. Luckily people were handy with the fire extinguishers and the blaze was out within minutes. At this time the fire department was called and an investigation was under way. The residents of the dorm were then asked to meet in the gym. As the crowd entered the gym different emotions were noticeable h^u> and fiftwi jaa Sgatf&gfc&j*"*)? mm. on everyone's face. Tears caused by fear, the look of panic, and of course those who cover up their feelings by jokes were the most common reactions found. While in the gym, Keith McLellan gave directions on the use of the fire extinguishers. He alsogaveeva- cuation procedures. Many people in the gym felt that McLellan had done a "great" job in calming the crowd so that no one would cause a panic. The residents soon returned to their rooms only to find a fourth fire. Approximately an hour after returning to the dorms, third floor was again the scene of a fire. Someone had lit a trash can on fire in the bathroom of wing 3B. Third floor was now the scene of frightened women. For the remainder of the evening, shifts of two hour watches were being given. In fact all the wings in the dorm were asked to place people on watch for the night. Various men volunteered to keep watch on each wing throughout the night. One man was appointed to every wing and exchanged shifts at a somewhat regular rate. While speaking with McLellan early Tuesday, I asked, if having a man on the wing was to give the women a feeling of safety, or was it to aid in the capture' of the arsonist? McLellan felt that the idea was to give the girls safety and to make them feel safe. 1 was able to briefly speak with Sue Beasley, Resident's Assistant (R.A.) of wing 3D. The basis of the questions were concerning how her wing was holding up under such pressure. Ms. Beasley mentioned that each girl on her wing was much more conscious of those who enter the wing, particularly strangers. She also stated that when it came to asking for volunteers to keep watch, everyone felt concerned and were willing to help in any way they could. Although Ms. Beasley was not on the wing at the time of the third and larger fire, she seemed to show a feeling of pride in stating that she didn't think that 3D's occupants panicked in any way while evacuating. During Tuesday afternoon another blaze was set. At 1:30 again 3B's bathroom was on fire. Someone had thrown a plastic trash can and its contents into the dryer and turned it on. By coincidence the fire chief happened to be inthe office of Dean Collins. Immediately the fire chief was at the scene. However the arsonist was not found, nor were any clues discovered. Thus far it seems as though the person or persons setting the fires are using a pattern of two fires per day, for at approximately eight Tuesday evening another small fire was ignited and soon extinguished. This time a table cloth was placed on the 3rd floor kitchen counter, the cloth was lit, then a plastic lid was set on top of the blaze in order to melt. This blaze brings the fire count up to six, all of which are located on the third floor. However not known by many, is the fact that actually there have been seven fires. After fire number six, in the kitchen, it was suggested ihat all of the cupboards be cleared out of burnable items. Judy Carolan, resource center director, found a sock which had been burnt. This sock had burned part of the inside of a cupboard. It is not known when this seventh fire was set. It may have been last week or even within the last few days. At the time I am writing this story (Feb. 25 four p.m.), there have not been any further fires. And hopefully there will not beany more. Located on each wing of the dorms is a fire extinguishing unit placed above the drinking fountain. Inside the enclosed case is a fire extinguisher and fire hose. During training each R.A. is informed concerning the use of this equipment and the procedure of removing the residents from the wing safely. Yet what would happen if a fire occurs and the R.A. is not around? The equipment on each wing is easily used and can be handled by anyone. The use of the fire hose is self explanatory, but what ofthe fire extinguisher. Each fire extinguisher is light weight, and each is simple to use. The procedure for operating the extinguisher is as follows; remove the extinguisher from its position, pull the safety pin, aim at the base of the fire, and squeeze the handle. The majority of the extinguishers located in the dorms are of the ABC type, meaning the contents of the extinguisher can be used on A-combustibles, B- liquid, and C - electrical fires. This is an important safety factor to be known, for if an extinguisher containing water is used on an electrical fire, an electrical current can be transferred to the fire fighter. I spoke with Captain Newell of the Arlington Fire Department concerning safety precautions during a fire. Captain Newell described a situation in which he (Cont't. page 3)
