Summary "'Fire Prevention 101' revealed that student housing on college campuses throughout Illinois is filled with fire hazards and fire code violations that could result in deadly fires. Our investigation suggested that lax enforcement of fire codes could make Illinois the site of the next fatal campus fire, and just one month after our story aired, a student died in a fraternity house fire at Milliken University in Decatur, Illinois."
