Fire victim in ‘good condition’ at KU Hospital

Sam Buhler, one of two Kansas University students injured in a fire at 1005 Ind., was listed in good condition, a nursing supervisor at Kansas University Hospital said Monday.

Buhler jumped out of a second-story window to escape the blaze, which started about 5 a.m. Thursday. His injuries were serious, and his father said he needed a knee operation.

Buhler is one of four college-age men who lived in the home, which was declared a total loss. The fire originated from the illegal use of fireworks.
