Fire services called to Lash Miller after reports of smoke in lab

Police and fire personnel were called to Lash Miller Laboratories on 80 St. George Street after reports of smoke in a third floor lab.

Students evacuated the building at approximately 5:33 pm after a fire alarm sounded. Several police cars and ambulances could be seen blocking a portion of St. George Street from Harbord Street to College Street.

A Toronto Police investigation confirmed that a rag on equipment in the lab was the cause of the smoke.

Students were given the clear to re-enter the building at approximately 6:10 pm, despite initial smells of smoke from the Davenport wing. Police and fire personnel left the scene at 6:17 pm.

Campus Police declined to comment on the incident.
