We are doing fire saftey to complete the FIPG requirements. Last week I talked to the head security officer about it and how i wanted to burn clothing to show how flamable some of our clothes are. (ie nylons, silk, polyester, cotton, etc) Especially dress clothes. Well apparently the school has to discharge fire extinguishers every so often, they rotate the ones that need to be discharged so a few go off every month. Because we talked to him in advance he is gonna let us burn stuff, in a controlled setting, and put the fire out with an extinguisher. (We did have to get permission from Residential Life cause it is oncampus.) He is gonna do fire alarm pulls and go over the basics of fire saftey. After the club fires in the past few weeks it will be very timely. Then we will do fire evacuations and whatnots. If you need to fullfill this type of requirement you could talk to people on your campus. Check with your insurance, we had to have it controled by a security officer but other than that we are clear.

I'm so excited!!! We have a national rep on campus that week so it will be interesting to burn stuff with her Poor Woman! (Helping recruitment, getting to play with fire!)
