Cause of WVU Fire is Under Investigation

A fire broke out at Armstrong Hall on the West Virginia University campus when a section of material used to resurface the roof caught fire. Fewer than 20 people, mostly faculty and staff, were in the building at the time of the fire on Friday but no classes were being held and no injuries were reported. A Morgantown fire crew extinguished the flames. The State Fire Marshal’s Office will assist in the investigation and assess damages.
