Electrical fire closes 10 McMaster buildings

Ten buildings on the McMaster University campus are closed after an electrical fire in the basement of Gilmour Hall around 9:30 this morning.
Hundreds of students and staff poured out on the grounds to be told the buildings are closed until noon when a further update will be given. Gilmour Hall is the main administration building and includes the offices of McMaster President Peter George.
Mike Maciejewski was in the shower in the athletic centre when the power went out.
“I have a paper I need to hand in in half an hour”. He said he needed access to a computer to hand it in on time.
At this time the university email system is down because of the fire.
Spokesperson Andrea Farquhar said McMaster hasn’t had three fire related incidents so close together in her memory.
