Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services exhibited the necessity of fire safety to students on Oct. 8, 2012, by demonstrating the mock burn of a student housing room on the campus green. The fire, started by a candle, engulfed the entire room in flames within minutes. Common student items like books, notebooks, curtains and bedspreads are combustible and allow fire to spread quickly. KSU student housing rooms are equipped with sprinklers, and there are fire extinguishers on each hall.
