OUR VIEW Housing must respond to concerns

Sunday morning’s Towers fi re was inconvenient at the very least. However, the facts surrounding the fi re and resulting evacuation raise many questions. Th e offi cial Nashville Fire Department report shows that the trash chute doors did not close on some fl oors, resulting in heavy smoke fl ow from the trash chute into several of the residential halls. Interviews with residents that were published in Monday’s Hustler article entitled “Fire forces evacuation” demonstrated that upon learn- ing of smoke on the upper fl oors of Tower 4, front desk staff were slug- gish, assuming it was a false alarm. Furthermore, Hustler reporters on the scene observed emergency offi cials wait before sending students to Towers 1 and 2. We’re concerned. Why did the front desk staff drag its feet? Why were the trash chute doors in Tower 4 not closing properly? Why isn’t there a plan in place to provide students with basic necessities during such an evacuation?
