Crews were called to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology over the weekend for a small fire.
On Sunday, the Terre Haute Fire Department responded to the college and found light smoke coming from a building on campus.
Fire officials said by the time crews made it inside, students had already used three fire extinguishers and the building’s sprinkler system to put out the flames.
The fire started in a grinding and sanding booth and was ruled accidental. No one was hurt.
