Local Fire and medical to test safety of Allen Fieldhouse garage
The Lawrence Fire and Medical department will be on campus tomorrow to study the fire safety of the parking garage next to Allen Fieldhouse. The officers will try to find a way to get water to the building in case of a car fire.
Capt, Mark Bradford said because there was limited access to the sprinkler deficient four-story building, the department needed to find out how to get into the building before a real fire started.
Bradford said the fire department's water connection was located in a difficult place to access if the streets were full because of a KU basketball game, for example. The connection is on the corner of the building between Allen Fieldhouse and the parking lot.
If a car caught fire after a basketball game, Bradford said the department would need to find another water source.
The fire and medical department does these studies on all city buildings that would suffer high damage or life loss if there was a fire.

turnpike problems possible; officials see flood as unusual
TOPEKA—The leaders of three state agencies said yesterday they believed an unusually intense storm was the main reason flooding along the Kansas Turnpike killed six people last month.
According to one estimate, the Aug. 30 storm dumped more than nine inches of rain in six hours along the turnpike, about 11 miles southwest of Emporia at the Lyon-Chase county border along Jacob Creek.
Five of six members of a Glenaire, Mo., family died, as did a Fort Worth, Texas, man.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius ordered the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Department of Transportation and the Kansas Turnpike Authority to review the tragedy, to see whether it could have been prevented.
A preliminary report from the U.S. Geological Survey, released Monday, said the flooding was more than three times what the turnpike's drainage system could handle.
Women charged with leading teenagers on vandalism spree
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A woman has been charged with supplying alcohol to her daughter and other high school students and driving around with the teens, drinking and spray-painting street signs.
Bonnie S. Brown, 45, of Kansas City, Kan., turned herself in yesterday. She was charged Friday with contributing to a child's misconduct and criminal damage, both felonies. She also faces one misdemeanor count of endangering a child and six misdemeanor counts of furnishing alcohol to a minor.
Authorities began investigating Brown after her daughter and another 15-year old girl were seriously injured in a car accident around 1 a.m. on July 28 in the Piper area. Police said officers could smell alcohol on the girls' breath, and alcohol and beer containers were in the vehicle.
She faces over $200,000 in fines and nearly 70 months in jail on all the charges if convicted.
