Structural integrity of the building. The rest of the building from the fire and the water. A terrible blaze. Just after 10 00 a. M. , the smoke begins to spill the sky. Flames roaring high above the roof of the under construction building. A nightmare for firefighters. And an entire college campus. For fire crews the buildings design is the greatest challenge. Brick is only on the facade, interior and the roof system. All lumber. Fueling the rapid spread of the flames. No sprinkleer system, no alarm system. Dangerous to fight a fire in a building under construction. The safeguards are not in place. For those on the outside its the smoke, enough to force the university of maryland campus to close for the day. Enough to make the lungs burn. I can smell the smoke in my apartment a little bit. I heard reports from friends on campus most of the building. Brad now back live now you can see the firefighters up there on the truck. Putting water on the fire. You can still see that smoke. That smoke traveling from here, the wind carrying it to the college park campus. That is where my colleague ryan hughes is to pick up the story there about the decision to shut down for the day. Brad, you can still feel and smell the spoke, just hanging here over the campus. Students telling me you could smell it inside the classrooms. Its coming through the air conditioning unit. Ghost town. A few buses making their way home after the classes were canceled around 1 00 this afternoon. That came through an email this afternoon, the university letting them know that the come pus is closing down due to the poor air quality from the fire. The university of police have been directing traffic. Several roads are shut down. Baltimoremore avenue closed northbound. Students on campus are told to stay inside and closed the wi especially those that are told not to walk around the campus. Students we spoke with say they think the University Made the right decision. Canceling classes. Take a listen. You get light headed. Its like you walk around and a big bonfire or campfire. Its reminiscent of that. Its annoying. You get that itch in your throat and stuff. The smoke pretty much made it through the classroom buildings. Even now walking here, through like the classrooms you can still smell the smoke there. All parking lots on campus are unrestricted until 6 00 tomorrow morning. The campus will be on tomorrow. They posted on twitter they plan release more details a about that soon. For now live in college park, ryan hughes, abc7 news. Nancy ryan, thank you. Right here.
