The Center for Campus Fire Safety has designated September as "National Campus Fire Safety Month" with the goal of raising national awareness about the importance of protecting our young adults. In West Virginia from January 2000 through December 2008 , there were 96 reported fires with 1 fire death and over half a million dollars in total estimated property loss due to fire occurring in college housing such as dorms, fraternities, sororities and barracks.
