A long, thin propane or kerosene-fired heater used by contractors to cure plaster, spackling, or paint in the wintertime. The device is often left turned on overnight producing the illusion that there are flames in the building because of its glow. This results in a number of mistaken 9-1-1 calls for the fire department. Also known as a "torpedo heater" because it somewhat resembles a torpedo.
The caller said she saw flames in the building, but the fire department only found a salamander the contractors left on overnight.

If you were to picture a quintessential Southern campus, Salem College would be it. The oldest women's institution in the nation boasts not only its history and beauty, but also its student body of smart, independent women that work hard and play harder. Unlike other all-women schools, Salem balances brains with beauty--- and has a healthy dose of both. So if you want a Southern girl whose daddy has money but who doesn't feel the need to broadcast it by wearing Lily Pulitzer and Lacoste all the time, come to Salem. You can rest assure that these girls have more important things to worry about than who can dress the cutest. After all, Hollins, Sweet Briar, Meredith, Peace, and RMWC girls will work for them one day...Vera Bradleys and all.
