W GSU FIRE SAFET 6 — Georgia Southern students watch and take pictures as university and local public safety officials burn mock dorm rooms to demonstrate fire safety issues and procedures during Wednesday's Fire Safety Fair on campus.

Within minutes, the small dorm room on Georgia Southern University’s campus went up in flames Wednesday. The blaze flickered slowly at first, licking at the furniture and curtains before roaring to life, crackling loudly as it consumed the small square structure. Within just a few minutes, all that was left was a blackened frame and the charred remains of the room’s contents.
