Vol. 27 Issue 47 fiusm.com Thursday, December 3, 2015 Fire at 109 Tower displaces students NICOLE MONTERO Asst. New Director [email protected]

Nearly 500 University students were evacuated from their homes after a fire at 109 Tower, a 15-story building that functions as off-campus housing for students. The fire started on the 10th floor of the kitchen on Tuesday, Dec. 1 at around 1 a.m., according to NBC 6 News. The tower’s sprinkler system put the fire out quickly, but caused damage to the lower floors. There was damage caused by flooding because of a “robust sprinkler system,” according to Elizabeth Bejar, vice president for Academic Affairs at a faculty senate meeting Tuesday. “Around 1 a.m., I noticed that there were a lot of fire trucks and ambulances outside the building,” said Chloe Antoine, a junior majoring in liberal studies and a 109 Tower resident. “I understood there was a fire and I called the [person] on-call and they told me that it had already been put out.” But, at around 3 a.m., she was woken up by firefighters. “I woke up because firefighters were knocking on the door telling everyone to evacuate,” Antoine said. Camila Fernandez/The Beacon “Everyone in the building was locked outside and spent the whole morning there.
