Summary

January 18, 2000 arson fire at Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey: 3 fatalities, 58 injured; no sprinkler system in the dorm, Boland Hall, and students used to ignoring the (frequently false) alarms. "After the Fire tells the inspiring story of freshmen roommates Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, proceeding from the devastating fire through the grueling medical treatment into their life-affirming future. And it is the story of the search for the arsonists--and the elaborate conspiracy that nearly obscured the truth."--Container.
