An early morning fire on Jan. 19, 2000 at Seton Hall University killed three students and more than 50 others were injured. Dana Christmas was a senior resident assistant in Boland Hall when the fire happened. After learning of the blaze, she went door-to-door waking students up to flee until she collapsed after suffering severe burns, 3rd and 4th degree burns over 60% of her body she remained unconscious for almost a month. Her heroic efforts earned her the name “Angel of Boland Hall.” She is now a minister living in Paterson. Her legacy lived on for many years in a scholarship, The Dana Christmas Scholarship for Heroism.
