Campus Firewatch Radio
Hosted by Ed Comeau
Host Ed Comeau begins this edition of Campus Firewatch Radio with Dan Madrzykowski from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to find out what they’ve learned about fire behavior in dormitories.
Also, Dayna Hilton, a firefighter in Johnson County Rural Fire District #1 in Arkansas, joined us at the NFPA show in Bostonto tell us how she got a Fire Corps program started at a local college. The students have taken fire prevention to a new level.
Mike Halligan, an official with the Center for Campus Fire Safety, provides us with an overview of the Fire Prevention and Safety Grant they received to provide training to 300 campus officials. Wrapping up the show is Bob Davis, a reporter with USA TODAY, who did an in-depth article on campus fires.

Good Morning. My name is Erica Scavone and I work in the Seton Hall Public Relations Department.
Recently our faculty member Jennifer Nelson was on air and I was wondering if you could tell me the air value (ad value) and the circulation (listener number). It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and effort!
