Wolman evacuated for possible fire

By RACHEL WITKIN | February 8, 2012

A student discharged a fire extinguisher on the fifth floor of Wolman Hall at approximately 9:50 p.m. Friday night. Mistaking the fire extinguisher emission for smoke, another student pulled the fire alarm and the building was evacuated.

"The fire extinguisher was discharged by an unknown student. The student that pulled the fire alarm does not face any consequences because they thought there was a true fire," Lt. Mark Long of Investigations said.
