The fire alarm was set off by a water flow monitor, according to Lisandra Carmichael, the interim dean of the library.

The building was closed for 20 minutes. UNFPD surveyed the library and cleared it for re-entry. There was no damage to the building structure or anything inside the building, according to Carmichael.
“I was on the second floor then I heard the the alarm go off and then we all went outside,” Chloe Polder, an information systems sophomore, said. “No one knew what was going on. I kinda thought it was a drill, but the way they said it on the [intercom] made me feel like something else was going on.”
