There was a fire at Hamilton’s McMaster University overnight. There were no serious injuries and the damage is being assessed.

The fire occurred in the university’s Brandon Hall residence building. Brandon Hall is the largest of the university’s residence buildings and primarily houses first year students.

The Hamilton Spectator has a news report on their website.
