Tuesday evening I was sitting in the newsroom at the G5 working on posting the newscast to the web. I was typing away when I heard the dispatcher over the scanner say fire alarms were going off at Bailey hall. I looked around the newsroom and started begging people to go up the hill and get some video and sound of this Bailey fire. Chris Kauffman voluntered to run up the hill. Not more than two minutes after Chris left, Staci Wolfe called down from Stauffer-Flint saying she saw Chris outside of Bailey Hall and that Peggy Kuhr was on the phone with the Kansan wondering why someone from KUJH was there before a Kansan reporter. The fire was a false alarm but nothing at tv.ku.edu is a waste of time. Hey, now we have some archive video of firetrucks!
