Dorm Fire
By Matt Margolis | January 29, 2006
There was a fire in an on-campus apartment building at the University of Hartford. I lived in the same building during my senior year…
A Saturday morning fire in the attic of a University of Hartford dormitory started when an illegal duct hooked to a set of clothes dryers overheated and ignited, a Hartford fire official said.
No one was injured, but at least 23 students who live in the Park River Residence Hall will be moved to other housing. The rest of the 220 students who live in the 17-year-old dorm returned to their rooms late Saturday night. Fire and school officials were unsure when the displaced students would be able to go back.
I’m glad this didn’t happen while I was living there…
I’d also like to put out that if the article is correct and the fire was caused by an illegal duct, than insurance will not cover the cost of repairing the building and the University of Hartford will have to pay out of their pocket. D’oh!

Matt, is your blog roll updating automatically or are you having to do a *forced update*??
No one seems to be working correctly and yours appears to be rolling better than others and it’s VERY slow as well…

Fred, since you are on blogspot, you have to manually ping the blogrolling.com server. This blog uses WordPress, which is set to ping blogrolling.com automatically.
