WINONA, Minn. — Firefighters responded to an alarm from a pull-call station in the Morey dorm at Winona State University, but on arrival they were told the fire was in another dorm. They raced to the Conway dorm and found haze from burning food on the third floor. They cleared out the haze, and all as well. But why wasn’t a Conway alarm pulled? Firefighters identified that an alarm in the nearby Richards dorm had been activated, which they reset. Even so, that didn’t explain why the original alarm was from the Morey dorm. All three dorms are in aging 1960s-era buildings in a complex along Huff Street. The alarm came in about 10:40 a.m.
