Apathy brings disaster . . .
Continued from Page 1
The investigator said the big problem is that pranksters
fail to consider the life threat in setting fires, and don't
consider the fires as anon, but as jokes.
"If they don't start understanding the danger that's in
volved, someone going to get killed, Kuticka said.
We re just sitting on a time bomb. It's going to happen."
UNL hasn't had a fire fatality for several years, but Ku
ticka said he's afraid someone will die before students
wake up to the arson problem.
"The public doesnt get concerned until it affects them
personally,' Kuticka said.
vestigators.
Kuticka said 50 or 60 cases have been difficult to solve
because nobody wants to help. Anyone who has informa
tion about the fires can call the state office's arson hot
line, and remain anonymous. The number is 1 12-800-742-7766.
Information could lead to a reward if an arrest and
conviction are made, Kuticka said.
He said he would like students to offer ideas about sol
ving the problems with fire in residence halls and said he
would meet with students to hear them.
Arson seems to be increasing in residence halls, reflect

Frequent fire alarms, whether actual ones or prank
ones; produce a dulling effect on hall residents fear of
fire, he said.
The fire alarms go off so many times that students
pay no attention, he said.
The insensitivity to danger causes many students to
sleep through alarms, Kuticka said, and this could prove
deadly when smoke seeps into their rooms.
"On an average, people will not wake up under fire
conditions," he said. "Smoke is like a depressant.
Kuticka said he hopes it doesn't take a disaster like last
year's MGM Hotel fire in Las Vegas to prompt students to
consider the danger of lighting fires and the danger of ig
noring alarms.
