Does anyone know how long it takes (on average) for the fire investigators to determine the cause of the fire? I've been told it's pretty easy to figure out where the fire originated (it's rumored the fire started back near Ian's classroom).

So hypothetically: Burn down the old building, collect the insurance money, re-build the academic building to make the place more marketable or saleable?

I have a question. In the fire pictures, it appears that two buildings burned. Did the old original admin bldg still exist? The one that was on the right across from the dining hall? Was the new wing to the academic bldg built to replace that older bldg? I didnt see the older admin bldg in any pictures and was wondering if it still existed or if it burned along with the academic bldg. It was one of the older bldgs on campus. The academic bldg was built I think in 1995 so it was one of the newer ones.

So how are you dealing with this Susie Q? Are you drapped in sack cloth and black eye shadow? Are you in mourning?

What's the story?

I was just happy to hear no one was hurt and they're lucky the whole of North georgia didn't burn down because of it. Dorm supervision staff used to sneak out for late night smokes when I was there...not sure what happened. Looks like HLA is experiencing some legal troubles since I left in 2003...too bad all the allegations are true to my knowledge. I wish the school admin really was focused on helping the kids and not making themselves more money.

Good Golly!  Look what happenes when you don't check in for a few days.  For the record, I was in VERMONT fishing with one of my buddies.  Thanks, RB, for the phone call to let me know what was happening.

So, Jewish Lightning in Georgia, huh?  I always thought that was our specialty up here around NYC, but I guess it does happen in Georgia, too.

Very relieved to hear nobody was hurt - just imagine if it broke out in the dorms with bolted windows...  We'd have some more dead kids on our hands now...

Looking forward to the Fire Marshall's investigation of this incident.

the new admin building was the second building and is still in near perfect condition.

the math:

dorm b now used for classes. the dorm capacity was not needed due to drop in enrollment.

insurance money is free $$$s now; no need to re-build anything.

the classroom building simply was not necessary...hence the fire, which of course was strated as far away from the new building as possible and in the science room-- perception of flammable and electrical stuff.

1.5 million can keep it going.  kids may=scapegoats.

Thank God is right that the fire did not spread to the dorms since they are a fire trap with only a few ways out of there. My child told me that no alarms were heard on campus at all...and they never had a fire drill the entire time that my child has been at HLA.

current staff posts

I'm sure a current staff will post soon enough that they do regular fire drills...just like all staff carry the certifications the school claims they have---the truth about my qualifications was "stretched" to satisfy some lawyer somewhere, but corners were cut then and I'm sure they continue to be. Plenty of staff there are good people with the best interests of the kids in mind, but administration was always all about the $$$$$...hence me leaving there. I'll keep checking in to see what the investigation turns up...but it smells fishy to me!

I think the timing of the fire is Unreal. Do you think that anyone that knows all the troubles that HLA has had over the last year with dwindling enrollment and staff leaving and a petition for a lawsuit hanging out there, that anybody would NOT be suspicious of that fire! Really bad timing for a fire the day before lots of kids graduated and were leaving HLA with such few students. I will be glad to hear what the investigation turns up.

Perhaps there is no intention of ever doing so (re-building)?  Claim bankruptcy and never re-open next year?  Take the money and run?  Woe be to the parents that pre-pay for part or all of the following year!
 
The fire had to be done while the kids were still there; more potential suspects to obfuscate matters...
