*UPDATED:* Small fire extinguished in Ackerman Union

An oil fryer in Ackerman Union’s Panda Express set fire around 2:40 today and was quickly extinguished by employees, police said.

Building occupants were evacuated when the fire alarm went off, disrupting events taking place in Ackerman for Alumni Day.

Alumna Robin McGrath said she was disappointed to leave a panel with Disney representatives called “Insider’s Guide to Creativity and Innovation.”

“The timing was very poor,” McGrath said.
