Fire prevention programs have
helped reduce the number of fires
this year in Lincoln and at UNL,
local fire officials say.
Douglas Peterson of the Uni
versity Police Department said
UNL police officers have reported
only three fires this semester.
Corp. Bill Manning, UNL police
department fire specialist, said
the number of fires at UNL has
decreased in the past four or five
years.
Manning attributes the de
crease to a fire awareness pro
gram sponsored by UNL's Office
of Housing. Posters and pamphlets
in residence halls teach students
"learn not to burn" ideas.

Major losses from fire in the
city of Lincoln also have de
creased, according to a news re
lease from Mayor Roland Luedt
ke's office. Fire loss for Lincoln
during the first seven months of
1984 was set at $429, 314, about
half of last year's total.
"I think these statistics provide
evidence that the city's various
fire prevention programs are hav
ing a positive effect," Luedtke
said.
Mike Durst, a Lincoln fire in
spector, said the city's Volunteer
Fire Prevention Program, spon
sored by the Bureau of Fire Prev
ention, is one city program that
has helped decrease fires here.
"We'd like to think this contrib
uted to the reduction of fires dur
ing this seven-month period,"
Durst said.
The program, now in its first
year, is manned by 100 volun
teers who distribute fire safety
information and inspect residents
homes for fire hazards.
Peterson said that at UNL, most
residence hall fires occur in trash
chutes. Fires in residence hall
rooms, although rare, usually are
caused by overloaded circuits
too many appliances plugged into

Durst said electric blankets also
can cause fires. Students' electric
blankets, can "short out," thus be
coming fire hazards.
Fires in off-campus housing us
ually are the result of large par
ties, Durst said. Cigarettes from
parties end up in trash barrels or
trapped in upholstery. These
could start fires later, after the
party ends and the host or hos
tess falls asleep, sedated from
alcohoL
But statistics indicate that col
lege students don't start most of
Lincoln fires. About 90 percent of
Lincoln fires occur in single-family
homes, Durst said. Most of these
fires are caused by "careless
smoking" or kitchen mishaps, he
said.
To avoid fires, the Bureau of
Fire Prevention provides these
safety tips:
Keep the area near stoves
free from rubbish and other flam
mable materials.
Empty the contents of ash
trays into a toilet, garbage dispo
sal or a covered metal trash can.
Make sure no more than one
appliance or fixture is connected
to an extension cord.
I nstall good smoke detectors
and test them regularly.
Check all windows and doors.
Be sure they can be opened easily
from the inside.
