The recent house fire on University Hill in April is a costly reminder of the potential danger of everyday household items like candles, according to Tom Carney, the emergency management coordinator for the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder. An unattended candle caused the April 21 fire, which gutted the house and left 10 people homeless, including eight ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder students, while also damaging many of their possessions.
