In the early morning hours on 14 Feb 24, smoke was reported coming from the medical wing of B250. Firefighter personnel extinguished the fire without water and started building ventilation procedures. The fire alarm system did not activate immediately as there was only heat detectors in the immediate area. Therefore, the HVAC systems were ventilating smoke and soot for some time. The cause of the fire was a faulty mobile device charging station.
