Abstract: The Clery Center for Security On Campus partnered with the Michael H. Minger Foundation, Campus Firewatch, Rowan University, University of Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia Fire Department to create this short educational fire safety video and outreach campaign to address the importance of fire prevention and safety for college students, especially those living off campus. Funded under a Department of Homeland Security Fire Prevention and Safety grant, the film depicts a fire at an off-campus residence, and the unfortunate outcome that affects all those involved. The website provides the movie and a screening guide for institutions to download. All colleges and universities are encouraged to make use of the free video and accompanying materials produced through this campaign.
