Chiller plant catches fire
By Chris Coletta and Erin Zureick | February 17A fire broke out at a University chilled-water facility Thursday afternoon, sending black smoke billowing across a Carolina-blue sky but doing little to disrupt campus services. The blaze began shortly before 4 p.m. in an external tower of the North Chiller Plant, which is located next to the Student Health Service building. The Chapel Hill Fire Department sent three engines, a ladder truck and 22 firefighters to the scene, according to a University press release. The flames had diminished by 4:30 p.m., and the blaze was under control just after 5 p.m.
