Hi All,

Don't know if anyone heard about this... Luckily no one was hurt in the fire, and the other Greeks pulled together to help the brothers affected.

Residents of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house are in temporary housing following an attic fire at the house Friday night, April 19.
None of the 21 members, all Miami University students, was reported injured, however, many lost possessions due to smoke and water damage.

Most of the students accepted an immediate offer from Miami’s department of housing and dining services for temporary housing at Havighurst Hall for the remainder of the semester, officials said. The rest are staying with friends. Residents were also given 2-day meal passes.

The fire started in the attic but the cause has not been determined, according to the Oxford fire department. Fire fighters from ******* Township, College Corner and Reilly Township assisted the Oxford department.

The house will be closed for the remainder of the school year. Fire damage was limited to the attic, smoke damaged the upper floor and water damaged other areas.

The Red Cross provided vouchers for personal items and by the next morning members of other Miami Greek chapters had offered to replace clothing and other damaged items.
