A fire broke out in Scales Hall on the east side of campus Wednesday night.

The fire originated from a stove in a Scales kitchenette unit around 8 p.m.

Oswego State University Police responded to the emergency call and were quickly dispatched to Scales Hall.

Lt. Robert Vaccarelli and officers Michael Boehn, Mark Miklos and Scott Bullard arrived at the scene and confirmed smoke and flames.

Using a fire extinguisher, Boehn was able to keep the flames contained to the area around the stove. 

His fellow UP officers supplied him with an additional two fire extinguishers as they were expended.

Oswego Fire Department arrived from the city, followed by the Oswego Town Volunteer Fire Department and several assisting emergency personnel from surrounding areas.

According to UP, the fire was contained to the stove, adjacent wall and cabinet area of the kitchenette.

UP reports indicate the fire was put out within 10 to 12 minutes, with no injuries reported.

The fire, according to UP, was said to be caused by students cooking on the stove with oil, which caught fire.
