Area deemed safe after fire
Construction crews demolished the remnants of a house Monday afternoon that caught fire early Sunday morning near Ninth and Louisiana streets.
Ninth and Louisiana Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment are working together in response to reports of gasoline odors in the areas of Ninth and Loui-
"I believe the area is safe for residents to stay in their homes at this time," Bradford said while addressing local media in the middle of Louisiana street blocked by fire and utility trucks.
siiana. Although gas odors were noticeable, Lawrence Fire Chief Mark Bradford said there was no reason for residents to panic.
Recent heavy rains have complicated the crews' work to determine the source of the gas odor. According to a City of Lawrence press release, the
rains could cause any possible gasoline to enter into the ground water. Through ground water, residents may notice an odor entering from their basements.
entering from Darwin Eakins, resident of 835 Louisiana St., lives across the street from the house that caught fire early Sunday morning.
Eakins said around 2:30 a.m. Sunday the street fire crews had blocked the street off while fighting the blazing fire at 838 Louisiana St. He said he was concerned when he saw the
house engulfed by large flames.
"The sucker just burned and burned," he said.
Bradford said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical is providing courtesy air monitoring in all structures where residents have a concern about gas odors. To request an air monitoring residents are asked to call (785) 843-0250. If residents notice a gasoline odor, please call 911.

Baggin' the sand, sandin' the bag

ODDS AND ENDS Who did it? Ghost or light system?
FLEMINGTON, N.J. — Some employees who work in the Hunterdon County Courthouse in Flemington say the ghost of Bruno Hauptmann is flipping on the courthouse's lights each night.
The peculiar happenings have been going on since renovations started months ago to make the courthouse look like it did in 1935, when Hauptmann was convicted there of kidnapping and killing the tender son of Charles Lindbergh.
"It's Hauptmann's ghost," Cindy Yard, county administrator, said.
But county architect Frank Bell said the courthouse's new electricity system was the likely culprit.
The renovation included sensors that shut off the lights when no one was in those areas of the building.
They are infrared sensors and it's a very sensitive system that reacts when air currents shift from a heating or cooling system starting up, Bell said.

Interviews being done to determine fire's cause
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical is still investigating the cause of the fire Friday evening at Southpoint Apartments, 2136 W. 26th St.
Fire Chief Mark Bradford said the department was still conducting interviews to determine the cause. One of those interviews will be with the resident of the apartment where the fire started who went to the hospital with burns. The condition of the resident, who neighbors identified as a KU student, is still unknown. Bradford said he did not have the resident's name.
Bradford said the damage was contained to the one apartment where the fire started. He said there was, however, moderate smoke damage to a few surrounding apartments as well as water damage to one unoccupied apartment below. There was no estimate on the cost of damages Monday. All residents were able to return to their apartments that same evening.
