SAU Dorm Fire

Our thoughts and prayers go north to Collegedale, where a fire in a Southern Adventist University women's dormatory killed a student from Chicago. It's been a mournful winter for the denomination: a plane crash killed four officials of the Georgia-Cumberland Conference in December, and now this, the night before finals.

Heretic Spire has an inside -- if somewhat embittered -- take on the tragedy, well worth reading. She raises good questions about the fire code enforcement that led to the blaze. Which leads to a broader concern: how dangerous are the historic buildings that house students in the Chattanooga region? Insights are welcomed.
