Kappa Sig fire still unsolved, but study continues
May 4
1970
Visitors to a 9:30 a.m. classroom lecture in 107 Strong Hall are welcome to the limit of seating capacity.
The cause of the Kappa Sigma fraternity fire three weeks ago is still undetermined, said Lloyd Davies, state deputy fire marshall.
As yet there is no positive reason for arson or any other cause, Davies said.
Investigators continue to talk with all occupants of the house, persons in the area and those with any knowledge of the fire, he said. Knowledge of any activities or unusual conditions before the fire are of value to the investigation. Those concerned are not only trying to determine who was in the area, but also unusual behavior of people, facilities or malfunctioning equipment in the house.
A large number of representatives from state and federal agencies and KU security are working on the case, Davies said. A fire is presumed accidental until it is proven otherwise, he said.
"We normally don't close the case of a major fire until we have positive proof of the cause," Davies said. "A case is often kept open for new evidence for several months or a year."
Any knowledge or material from a fire in Kansas is used in a statewide education program, Davies said. Investigators and laboratory technicians are in the process of catalogueing all identified evidence from the Lawrence fires for this purpose, he said.
"We have evidence such as fuels, wicks, containers and other materials used in many of the fires in Lawrence," Davies said.
