The Richmond Fire Department and EKU are looking into the small fires, which were all reported Oct. 6.
EKU spokesman Marc Whitt told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the first fire happened after someone threw an object that was on fire down a trash chute. Then books were set on fire in a stairwell hours later. Both those fires were in the Dupree Hall dorm.
The Powell Student Center was the site of the third fire, which was reported in a stairwell.
