A “faint scent of smoke” has evacuated The University of Central Florida John C. Hitt Library, according to UCF spokesperson Courtney Gilmartin.
The cause of the smoke was “determined to be a burnt out motor inside of a humidifier,” said a release sent by Gilmartin.
UCF Police and the fire department responded to the call at around 1:15 p.m. and the UCF Alert was sent out today at around 1:17 p.m.
Both Orange County and Seminole County Fire Rescue, as well as UCFPD, were on scene and the library perimeter was closed off.
The library has now reopened. The first floor will remain closed.
