*SUNY Plattsburgh Campus Fire Safety Event – TODAY, Wednesday, September 30*
What happens when a fire starts in a residence hall? How quickly can a
small fire become dangerous?
Come see for yourself.
*6:00 p.m. | Kehoe Parking Lot*
SUNY Plattsburgh is hosting an evening focused on fire safety and
preparedness. A live mock dorm room fire will demonstrate how quickly fire
and smoke can spread and why knowing your exits and acting quickly can make
a difference.
Immediately following the demonstration, Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos
<https://www.alandshawn.com/>, survivors of the 2000 Seton Hall University
residence hall fire, will share their story. As college freshmen and
roommates, they survived an arson fire that left both with severe burns and
a long road to recovery. This event is co-sponsored by College Auxiliary
Services and the Plattsburgh Alumni Association.
You’ll see how quickly a dorm fire can become dangerous, then hear from two
people who lived through one.
Come see the fire. Stay for the story. Leave knowing what you can do to
protect yourself and others.
