A small fire broke out at around 3 a.m. in the Comprehensive Breast Care Center located on the second floor of the Whitney-Hendrickson Building. This building is part of the UK Markey Cancer Center and faces Huguelet Drive.- Advertisement –
As designed, heat from the fire activated sprinklers, which produced water to fight the fire.
Firefighters said they didn’t see any flames or smoke from outside the building but did find two sprinklers had been activated on the second floor because of a small fire.
Firefighters put it out, shut down the sprinkler system and ventilated the building. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Schedulers are contacting patients with appointments Wednesday to reschedule or redirect them.
