Building Fire Shuts Down Street Friday

Students on their way to class this morning were in for an unexpected surprise.

Aquarius Agora Drive, the road that runs by Lake Claire, the Communication Building, Visual Arts and ends at the Student Union, was shut down this morning. Students were forced to take the scenic route around the Visual Arts Building to get to class.

UCF and Orange County Police, Fire Rescue and EMTs were all on the scene. According to UCF Police it was a small electrical fire and they are unsure how it started. One firefighter suffered from heat exhaustion and had to be taken out on a stretcher but will be okay.

Details to follow as the story develops.
