Crews respond to fire on roof of Robert Morris University dorm

Emergency crews were called to the scene of a fire on the roof of a Robert Morris University dorm.

A spokesperson for the university said 40 students were inside the G Tower of Washington Hall when the fire broke out on Tuesday.

A photo shows flames coming from the roof of the building.

Luckily, no one was hurt.

Students are currently on spring break, which means there was “limited occupancy” in the dorm at the time of the fire, the university said.

Students who were in the building were given a different place to stay Tuesday night.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
