Tower 1 and Tower 2 residents evacuated to the Venue after Orange County Fire Rescue responded to a brush fire behind the towers at 5:15 p.m.
Orange County Fire Rescue responded to the fire at 5:15 p.m., Lt. Thomas Veal said. The Florida Forest Service, who deals with forest fires, arrived afterward.
Veal said they are unsure of the cause of the fire, but they assume it started by lighting.
The towers have a total capacity of 1,000 students but it is estimated that 250 to 300 students live there during summer, said Chad Binette, assistant vice president of UCF News & Information.
There were no injuries from the fire and the fire did not endanger any other campus buildings.
UCF sent an alert that it is now safe for students to return to Towers 1 and 2.
