FIRE IN HOOD - BUILDING EVACUATED - CLSL-A: UPDATED

UPDATE #2: The small fire in the hood in CLSL-A 331 has been extinguished. We have been given the ALL CLEAR and people can now return to the building.

UPDATE: It has been determined it is NOT a chemical spill that occurred in CLSL-A 331. It is a small fire that is contained to the inside of a hood. Firefighters are in the room monitoring the situation. The building needs to remain evacuated so please do not try to enter the building until the all clear has been given by SCS.

POWER OUTAGE OVER THE WEEKEND - NOYES LAB

TO ALL IN NOYES LAB:

SCS was made aware of a power outage that occurred in Noyes Lab late Friday evening and was restored early Sat AM. We are working with F & S to find out why but here is the initial report:

It appears the main cable from the Main Campus Substation and Load Center 6, in Noyes, failed.

Load Center 6 was switched to a reserve feed.

Testing and repair will be iniated on Monday morning.

We are also working with F & S to find out why nobody within SCS (including myself & Chad) was notified except for one person in the CEES group. We will work strenuously to ensure this is repaired permanently and make sure they understand it is IMPERATIVE to notify us ASAP when something like this occurs in our facilities.
