About me:	I grew up in Waukegan. We were very much aware of the fire. We often were shown the movie "Why?" during Fire Prevention Week (this is the film taken by firemen present at the fire.) Now, I'm a school administrator & very much aware of & concerned about fire safety. In Michigan (where I now live) school fire alarms are NOT connected to the fire station. This surprised me when I first became aware of it.
