OT: Fire on North Campus
Just say an alert get flashed out about a fire on North Campus, but no details. Anyone up there know what is burning?
You can see smoke from the Med Center. Rising off just to the left of the water tower. It was a pretty darn big cloud and a bunch of fire trucks hauled up that way. Smoke is petering out now.

Someone was taking there ANGAR out, regarding MICH football.

David Brandon had his meeting with Greg Robinson on North Campus.

That was kind of cruel, not inappropriate, but cruel.
November 1st, 2010 at 5:09 PM ^
I thought it was clever and worth a chortle.

Tidal Wave! Go!

At least 3 warchortles.

Damn - you got me. That's what I get for trying to be funny!

Where'd you see the alert? I'm a little bit east of the water tower on Plymouth Road, and can't see anything. Tempted to go for a drive.
November 1st, 2010 at 5:08 PM ^
I can still see smoke. Brown and a bit hard to make out but a nice steady plume. I don't know if the official system has triggered. I just heard the paramedics radios go off and a couple of them headed for the ambulance.

Denard was just getting timed in the 40. He is ok but his shoes are not.
Man he is fast

I'm on North right now in Chrysler waiting for a review session to start and I did not see any smoke on my way in, nor has there been any kind of alarm or anything like that for us to get out.
November 1st, 2010 at 7:54 PM ^
don't mean to be creepy, but I'm pretty sure you and I were in the same review session.
November 1st, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
Please let the Panda Express be spared.
November 1st, 2010 at 6:22 PM ^
AMEN.
November 1st, 2010 at 5:12 PM ^
Alright, I'll head to the scene and give you guys an update. Better than doing research.
November 1st, 2010 at 5:18 PM ^
I'm on North Campus (IOE) now, and can't see anything -- and haven't received any alerts.

The big fire is at the north campus research complex on the southeast orner of plymouth and huron pkwy. So not on the actual campus campus. It looks like one of the old pfizer buildings. A ton of smoke, hopefully everyones alright.

Isn't that now part of the Campus? I thought U of M reached an agreement to buy it a couple of years back.
November 1st, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
Yes it is uofm now. That portion of Pfizer has been turned into the North Campus Research Center, but it is slightly away from the rest of North Campus diag area, so as not as much of an immediate worry for the majority of the mgousers.
November 1st, 2010 at 7:07 PM ^
But its close to the student parking lot. Think of the cars!
November 1st, 2010 at 5:26 PM ^
Maybe one of the Chinese grad students tried to microwave some leftover cat
November 1st, 2010 at 6:08 PM ^
Racist, stupid, and offensive.
November 1st, 2010 at 6:22 PM ^
November 1st, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
That might be true, but your joke still isn't funny.
November 1st, 2010 at 7:15 PM ^
is racist.
November 1st, 2010 at 6:56 PM ^
Fish, it is always fish in the fk!%ng microwave
November 1st, 2010 at 5:31 PM ^
No worries, it's just the College of Engineering running the final tests of their plan on how to salvage the football season. If there was only a way to prevent Troy Woolfolk or Mike Martin from injuring their ankles......

Probably Rucker just trying to add to his streak and chalk arson off the list. Every third chance deserves another
November 1st, 2010 at 7:17 PM ^
... it was lit under GERG's ass.
November 1st, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
we do have a record setting laser. That could have something to do with it.
