The Legacy of Renden Lemasters

A young man's death made the city safer

In the early hours of June 15, 2004, a couch caught fire on the porch of a house on Oakland Avenue. Fed by the sofa's stuffing, the blaze quickly engulfed the structure, putting two of the U-M football players who lived there into the hospital and injuring three other people, including two firefighters.

Government, business, environment, the U-M, and more.
