Fire at Phi Delt

Thankfully (indeed, shockingly) nobody was hurt. But it'll be a while before tunes are again heard coming from 5 Webster Ave:

Phi Delta Alpha fraternity suffered significant fire and water damage early Sunday morning when a fire in the physical plant’s attic caused the building’s fire suppression system to initiate, flooding much of the building. Several campus organizations have mobilized support efforts for the members of the fraternity, whose possessions were mostly damaged or lost in the incident.

The Hanover Fire Department received the first alarm at 5:27 a.m., Hanover Fire Department Captain Mike Gilbert said in an interview with The Dartmouth. All fraternity members living in the building were immediately evacuated, and no one suffered any injuries, according to Roland Adams, Dartmouth’s director of media relations.
