A fire that occurred in Wells Library on Tuesday evening is under investigation as arson.
The flames engulfed a paper towel dispenser hanging on the wall in the east tower’s 10th floor men’s restroom.
Smoke detectors initially reported the fire, IU Police Department Capt. Andy Stephenson said. Shortly after that, someone pulled a fire alarm.
There are now black char and burn marks where the paper towel dispenser hung, reaching from the floor to the ceiling.
Stephenson said there are no suspects at this time.
