Fire
Continued from Page 1
neighbor Mark Teal was battling
the flames when fighters arrived.
A second neighbor helped con
tain the flames but was not pre
sent when help arrived.
“The guy had a garden hose
and did a heck of a job,” he said.
“They just had the initial flames
and stuff knocked down.”
Teal, a University sophomore
who lives at a house next to the
quad complex, said he original
ly thought he was seeing steam
from a dryer in a laundry ma
chine. After knocking on the
room’s door, Teal determined
that smoke was billowing with
in the complex. Teal’s girl
friend, Brooke Nehrkorn, called
9-1-1 to notify authorities of the
blaze.
“I saw smoke and flames com
ing out of a broken window,” he
said. He added the other uniden
tified neighbor knocked down
the room’s door to help subdue
the fire.
"I used a hose to spray through
the door and window,” he said.
“We thought the entire building
was on fire; we thought the
whole thing was gonna go.”
The fire caused heavy damage
to room 104, leaving only a
smoking mattress and charred
debris of the resident’s belong
ings.
Hern said fire damage was not
only contained to room 104, as

Quads that contributed to Saturday's riot.
flames blistered paint on the
door of the quad’s common
kitchen area and water soaked
the length of the kitchen.
In addition to the EFD’s pres
ence, at least four EPD squad car
units arrived at the fire scene and
cordoned off the corner of 17th
Avenue and Alder Street.
Police on the scene had to
stave off an increasing number of
curious bystanders, neighbors
and people who were in the area
as a result of an earlier incident
between police and a University
fraternity.
Shortly before the blaze broke
out, EPD Officer Steve Williams
said additional squad cars re
sponded to an incident at the Pi
Kappa Alpha fraternity house at
791 E. 15th Avenue. Police tried
to evacuate the house, shut down
the party and issued a handful of
citations to intoxicated minors,
he said.
A large crowd of bystanders in
the fraternity’s vicinity then be
gan to throw rocks and bottles at
the officers, Williams said.
The altercation between the
police and a crowd that eventual
ly swelled up to 100 people led
to rioting and police patrols until
approximately 2:30 a.m. Sunday
morning.
