As reported a few weeks ago, there was a fire in the Lowenberger Residence at Brock University. 

Although the fire was contained to the bathroom, damage was also done to the entire bedroom, including the floor, ceilings, walls, lights, furniture and all personal belongings.  The residence room will need to be completely gutted and redone, cost estimate range in the thousands of dollars

Below, we have included an exclusive picture of the fire damage, in hopes to bring awareness to the serious nature and consequences of careless fires.  Want to see more pictures? Check out our Facebook page at facebook.com/knowfire.

FIRE QUICKLY PUT OUT AT BROCK DORM

Firefighters pounced Monday evening on a washroom blaze at a Brock University dormitory.
Niagara Regional Police said firefighters had to extinguish a small blaze at the Lowenberger Residence on campus. They said someone had lit papers in a bathroom in the building.
St. Catharines Deputy Fire Chief Dave Wood said the small washroom fire had mostly burned down by the time crews arrived but was put out in fairly short order. He said there was some damage to the tub and bathroom around the blaze.
"All the students were removed from the fourth floor wing safely," he said. He said they're being put up in other rooms by Brock.
Woode said the west wing of the fourth floor is being closed off for investigation.
The call initially came in just after 9 p.m.

A community is in mourning after three teenagers were killed in a house fire in Whitby over the weekend.
The fire occurred early Sunday morning on Dundas Street in Whitby, and killed three people in the upstairs unit of a house that was divided up into several units.
One of the victims has been identified as Ben Twiddy, 19, a Grade 12 student at Anderson Collegiate.
The two young women killed in the fire have been identified as Hollie Towie, 17, and Holly Harrison, 18.
One of the victims managed to call 911 at 12:25 a.m. on Sunday morning, police said. Firefighters arrived minutes later, but the smoke was so bad that they could not get the teens out of the house.

"We do know that, where they were located, that there was fire between where they were located and the entrance," said Whitby Fire Chief Michael Gerrard. By Monday afternoon, a memorial of flowers had sprouted on the lawn in front of the house.

"It doesn't really seem real, almost," said one teen who laid flowers. "You hear about it happening in other places and to other people, but you never think it's going to happen to people who you see every day."

Flags were lowed to half mast at three Durham district schools to mourn the students.
Karen Allan, principal at Anderson Collegiate where Twiddy was a student, said grief counsellors were being made available to the students.

"Obviously, they are devastated right now," said Allen. "So, we just need to help them talk it out and to remember the fond memories to deal with this tragic event."

Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the blaze, but they say it is not considered suspicious. They are looking into whether the house had working smoke alarms and a proper escape route.
