Law School Evacuated Over Electrical Fire

Smoke on the law school... fire in the sky.

FireIt’s never good when someone yells fire in a crowded law school, and that’s just what happened yesterday as Boston University School of Law caught aflame, spurring the evacuation of all 17 floors of 765 Massachusetts Ave.

I guess BC decided that town isn’t big enough for both of them.

The Boston Fire Department evacuated the School of Law Monday about 2 p.m. after smoke poured out of an electrical room in the building’s basement. Boston Fire Department spokesperson Steve McDonald says the building was evacuated as a precaution and that there were no injuries.

Oh. That seems like a failure of a fire emergency.

Never mind, I guess Suffolk decided the town isn’t big enough for both of them.
