Fire Safety for Students With Disabilities - Video Library

The Minger Foundation is now working on developing campus fire safety information for students with disabilties under a current DHS Fire Prevention and Safety Grant. As part of this project, to be rolled out in September, are four fire safety videos focusing on four different disabilities. These videos are freely available through youtube or on the Minger Foundation web site.

Mrs. Minger's son, Michael, who was killed in an arson fire at Murray State University in Kentucky, was diagnosed with cognitive disablities. As a result of this tragedy, Mrs. Minger has dedicated herself to improving fire safety on campuses across the nation.
