Around 3:30 p.m. this afternoon, fire alarms went off in the Bio/Life Sciences Building on 12th Street across from Gladfelter Hall. As two fire department engines and several firefighters arrived, it appeared that the building’s occupants evacuated and waited on the sidewalk.

Two Philadelphia Fire Department engines parked on 12th Street just south of Norris outside the Bio/Life Sciences Building, as firefighters in full gear entered the building to investigate fire alarms (Morgan Zalot/TTN).

It is unclear whether there was an actual fire that caused injuries or damage.
