Tuesday afternoon students
and faculty in Moore Science
noticed an unusual smell. After
walking through the building,
faculty located the source of
the odor emiting from the
downstairs janitor’s closet.
According to faculty reports
the smell seemed like it might
be smoke from an electrical fire.
Beth Suttles called Director
of Security Stan Jacobsen to
inform him of the situation.
Jacobsen advised Suttles to
pull the fire alarm to evacuate
the building and notify the fire
department.

janitor’s closet that had
overheated. There was never
any smoke or open fire, merely
anelectrical smell.
Maintenance personnel
arrived to change the bulb, and
commented that they had
never seen a bulb overheat in
vehicles. An additional fire
engine from the Connesttee
Falls department arrived later
Fire fighters entered the
building and located the source
of the odor, identifying it with
thermal-imaging cameras as
being a light bulb in the
this manner before.
Fire department personnel felt
that the situation was not one
that would have caused any
danger, but said that calling
them was the correct action to
take.
Firefighters and Campus
Security also expressed
concern over people standing
in close proximity to the
building while the situation was
being dealt with. According to
Jacobsen, it is not enough to
simply leave a building during
a fire alarm—^you must move a
safe distance away.
