Nov. 5--A fire behind an MIT fraternity house sent students running for cover yesterday morning at several university residences.
Police spokeswoman Alexa Manocchio said the fire started in a below-ground chamber under construction on Amherst Street. The fire erupted near 405 Memorial Drive, which is the home of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
The blaze, which broke out at 8:15 a.m., was extinguished at 8:50 a.m., according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology News Office.
"There were no injuries and no one was trapped," Manocchio said.
