Mock Dorm Room Fire

On November 5, 2009 we held a mock dorm room fire demonstration. It was the third time we have hosted such an event, but this was by far the most successful. There were easily 300 people in attendance. The biggest improvement we had this year was we got a group from the construction management program to build it for us. They had to do it for a class project, so it worked out really well for both of us. We had the Post Register, Standard Journal, and The Scroll all show up. They each provided great exposure for the society, as well as safety in general. Our faculty advisor Larry Shaw requested permission for making the above banner you see draped in front of the fire from AIHA headquarters in which we were granted permission. The contact from the headquarters requested a write-up of the event be sent to them for publication in their magazine The Synergist in a community highlight. Overall, it was a well planned and ran event that got us some exposure and recognition.
