Regents explore fire safety after student deaths
Kansas Board of Regents members pressed staff to review university practices for informing students about fire safety in off campus housing after an Emporia State University fire killed two exchange students. Fire officials cited combustibles near a floor furnace as the cause. Memorial efforts at ESU will train volunteers to inspect housing and fund smoke detectors. At KU, Legal Services for Students offers guidance on leases and housing codes. Law in Lawrence generally requires smoke detectors and extinguishers.
