“We ended up accessing the roof from the outside of the building to get the fire put out,” he said.
The damages to the upper floor of Swing Hall, located at 105 Tallawanda Street on Miami’s campus, will require parts of the roof to be replaced, he said.
There were no injuries from the blaze that started around noon today.
“We have a heat and smoke detection system in the buildings and it alerted physical facilities and the police simultaneously,” Wagner said. “Our police alerted the fire department.”
“They did call other departments but it was because of the heat to be safe I think for the firefighters,” Wagner added.
Swing Hall was first constructed in 1924.
