The Roof, The Roof is on Fire

The sucky part about this, is its literal meaning. In the morning hours of Halloween Dubois hall's roof was a light, and it wasn't even funny. For many of those with ten o'clock classes the fire alarms and chief of the Fire Department was a new an improved alarm clock. From there it was a rush to grab keys and coats, still hoping that this was just a drill. The residents of Dubois would later learn later, first with reports from the RA staff, and then from looking to the sky.
From ground view it appeared that the current project of repairing the roof for the upcoming winter had partially gone up in flames. As the smoke rose, many questioned whether it would be allowed to return at some point to retrieve personal items. For those on the third floor, directly above the blaze, watched hoping the ceiling wouldn't cave into their rooms below.
After about 45 minutes, the building was stabilized, and were allowed to return to the hall temporally to grab books and clothes for the day. Residents that planned had to dress up for the magical holiday, we let down as they threw on jeans in an attempt not to look like bead heads.
Normalcy would start as people headed out for breakfast and class. Around 1030 am residences and staff were  able to return to their rooms. The wake up fire on the roof, though, will defiantly be remembered as an eventful Halloween.
