I had not heard anything about this until I saw this article. I guess that means it was not too serious, but its still pretty scary. I wish the article had more details, such as what caused the fire and where exactly it hit. Its odd since I always have a class across the grass in Baker Hall on wednesday nights but this particular wednesday it was canceled for carnival. I really hope they can find out the cause of it and fix it; its always scary when fires happen at night. I guess thats one bonus of Carnegie Mellon students working so late is that they were there to realize what was happening before anything got too serious.

I agree with April because I never knew about this until I read this article. Good thing that the action took right after, even though it is found that there was no fire. It would have been very disastrous if there was fire. Somehow, reading this article, I felt so weird because these days, there have been so many tragic and disastrous accident happened all around the world. Although it is totally unrelated, it reminded me of Boston terror and evacuation at Laguardia airport. It also reminded me of fire at Amberson Apartment just few months ago. I hope that they take more serious care of the exhaust system, so it does not happen again where it scares students at night.
