COLLEGE STATION (July 21, 2009)-- A small, but smoky fire Tuesday that
forced the evacuation of the Texas A&M Chemistry Building on Ross
Street is under investigation.
Electrical service was cut off to the building as a result of the
fire, which was reported at around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Witnesses reported heavy smoke coming from a laboratory on the third
floor of the building.
The source was a small sodium fire in one of the labs vent hoods, Bart
Humphries of the College Fire Department told KBTX-TV.
The fire triggered the building's sprinkler system discharging what
officials said was a significant amount of water.
