FIRE IN HATCH (a quickie)

Just finishing a quick early afternoon nap, I was prepared to begin on some school work, including this blog, ironically.  I am having trouble focusing because of an rancid smoke smell when, to my dismay, the fire alarm sounds. Everyone evacuated the building quickly and the fire department soon arrived at Hatch.  I was unable to retrieve my valuables and was hoping the potential fire would not spread to the halls and rooms.  Fortunately, that did not happen.  Hatch hall coordinator Patrick Patterson sent an email to residents informing them of what happened, stating that a malfunction with the air handling system was what set the fire alarm off.

"The staff and I greatly appreciated evacuated in a timely and cooperative manner," said Patterson.
