On June 6th, the Cranford High School graduating class was given the opportunity to hear from two survivors of the Seton Hall Fire, Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, as they told their story of survival and their long road to recovery. The January 2000 fire killed three students and seriously injured several others, including Shawn and Alvaro. It was later determined that the fire was set as part of a prank by fellow students. This presentation was organized by the Cranford Fire Department as a way to teach the students not only about fire safety, but about situational awareness on college campuses and in places of public assembly. The students also heard the amazing and inspirational story of the years-long recovery process.
