Activities at the First Nations University of Canada were not
affected by a small boiler-room fire. Fire crews arrived 6 minutes
after the emergency call had been placed. They found fire conditions in
the basement boiler room and a fair amount of smoke and steam because
the sprinkler system had activated before the crews arrived.
The sprinklers helped to contain the fire, according to the fire
crew. The fire was limited to the area immediately around the furnace.
They add that had that system not been in place, there would have
significant damage.
There were approximately 30 people in the building when the fire broke out and all were safely evacuated.
