wanted something that would reflect the 125th anniversary. $ ^{1} $

Alarms fail to sound in course of local fire
Kansan staff report
A mattress fire Friday afternoon at Park Plaza South Apartments, 1912 W. 25th St., prompted the evacuation of the building.
Residents of the apartment building said they did not hear fire alarms alerting them of the fire, which was reported to the building at 1821 W. 26th St.
Captain Larry Woydiak of the Lawrence Fire Department said no injuries were reported in the fire. The owner of the mattress had put out the fire before firefighters arrived.
Michele Harrison, who lives in the complex, said, "You could really smell the smoke in the hall. Someone told me that it was coming from an
apartment above me."
Dave Gawell, who also lives in the complex, said he was unaware of the fire until firefighters knocked on his door and told him to leave.
Anthony Galino, an apartment resident, said that fire alarms in the building went off last week for no reason. He and the night manager to turn them off.
"They always go off when they aren't supposed to," he said. "Now that there is a fire, the alarms don't run and the ball full of smoke, and they didn't go up."
The apartment manager, who declined to give his name, said he didn't know why the apartments' alarms did not work during the fire.
The manager said the alarms had been serviced last week.
