Bloody Virginia

The events of Bloody Virginia occurred in the summer of 1955. Burn parties had never been a problem until this summer when the event took a violent turn and led to a local school being burned down. Due to the chaotic nature of a burn party, the investigation was unable to determine if the actions of a specific individual were responsible for the fire that got out of hand and ended up burning down a school. Unfortunately, four members of the staff were in the building working late. One death was reported and the others escaped with burns that put them in the hospital for several weeks after the accident. After this unfortunate event, the government decided to take matters into their own hands and banned burn parties, labeling this event Bloody Virginia.
