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.

Even though Im sorry for this mans injuries another person lost some property that cost him alot of money blood sweat and tears. I hope these young people are taking responsibility for their action and the owner is compensated by them and by the insurance Co 100%. The illegal use of fireworks in this location was completely an act of stupidity and I was shocked to hear about it. although I know its protocol for people to come through in a time like this and help. I dont believe certain things that have been given to the young ones responsible for this should have been given. Even though they are good intentions to do so. I hope for a speedy recovery and maybe they can put forth a lil effort physically to help rebuild this house for the homeowner. He is now lost out on a income from a property as well as the historic property itself.

I think I read there was a fire escape, just probably not at the window he jumped out of.
