CANTON -- SUNY Canton will stage a fire in a model dorm room to raise awareness of fire safety.
The controlled burn is part of a daylong series of fire prevention training programs sponsored by the college's Environmental Health and Safety office. SUNY Canton's Fire Safety Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 16 on the Roselle Academic Plaza on SUNY Canton's campus. The dorm room demonstration is scheduled for noon.
"The dorm room we will burn was built specifically for this demonstration by students in the Wood Structures class," environmental health and safety coordinator Torey J. Russell said. "It will be a learning exercise to demonstrate how quickly a fire can spread."
Members of the Canton Volunteer Fire Department will be on hand to put out the fire.
There will also be a fire extinguisher training simulator, and Christopher Taylor of the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control Office will be distributing information.
The public may attend the event.
