The smell of smoke filled the air that afternoon, as the Main Building windows glowed from the fire within It was approximately two o'clock when the second alarm fire was called into the station house on Carlton Avenue. The men of Engine 210 and Rescue Squad 2 were the first team on the scene. The building had been evacuated earlier by Andy Phelan and Bob Travers, as a heavy fire continued to rage in the class- rooms of the sixth floor. During the five hours it took to fight the blaze, a total of seven engines, three ladders, one rescue vehicle and a squad car were on campus to assist in the struggle. Two firemen sus- tained injuries while fighting the blaze. The cause is still unknown, although arson is suspected Damage to the building was considered medium, however, the tremendous amount of water used to extinguish the blaze caused irreparable damage to student's projects throughout the building. When time came to clean up the debris several people volunteered to help. Physical Plant personnel worked all day Sunday and came in at five am. Monday morning. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees was there sweeping the water off the floors, along with President Pratt, Don Mathis, and Albro Newton making ready for Mon- day's classes. All of which only goes to prove, it will take something more disastrous than a fire to stop the hands of the clock on Main Building
