Candles may make a dorm room smell nice and seem more like home, but if the candle causes a fire the smell after may not be so pleasant. The residl!nts of the room have to move and, if the fire is caused by pro­ hibited items, the residents are held at fault, said Dave Prunty, a<;sistant director of Residential Life. The cost of room damage after a fire can be as much as $5,000, Prunty said. • Depending on the size of the fire and the extent pf damages, the furniture, car­ pet, walls and ceilings have to re repaired or replaced.
