<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>This afternoon we experienced a very small fire in a hallway
on the second floor of the D building. This is the building directly above the administrative
offices. At approximately 10 a.m. the fire alarm sounded and, per protocol, the
campus was evacuated. The Berkeley Fire Department arrived on the scene where
they isolated the issue and secured the building. The building’s
sprinkler systems had engaged and the small fire was out before the fire
department arrived. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We were able to resume classes after a brief delay. There
was obviously a considerable amount of water on the floor and this forced the
closures of a few areas in the D building that will likely remain closed
throughout the afternoon. Damage appears to be minimal and superficial. The
library is now open.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The cause of the fire is still very much under investigation
by administrators, safety staff, and our plant operations manager. We will put
forward details as they become available. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Classes have resumed and we are back in business. Our
students were patient and helpful throughout the incident and they deserve a
compliment for the way their collective cooperation kept the evacuation steady
and safe for all involved.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

our women’s basketball team who will play Carondelet High School for the
North Coast Section championship at St. Mary’s College tonight. Tip-off
is set for 6:30. Go Jackets.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
