Fire In Texas A&M Chemistry Building Under Investigation

http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/51332137.html

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.
