How Quickly Dorm Fires Spread

The live burn was the second part of a Life and Safety class taught by Cpt. Brad Smith of the Oneonta fire department, to teach seniors kitchen, fire and dorm safety. Highlights included proper cooking of food, how to use fire extinguishers, heeding alarms and more. (Ian Austin/AllOTSEGO.com)
