A female University student suffered burn injuries during a small kitchen fire on the second floor of Brown Hall yesterday evening, according to University spokeswoman Marilyn Marks.
The student, whose name was not released yesterday, walked to McCosh Infirmary under her own power and was treated and released, Marks said.
The call was received by Public Safety yesterday at 5:36 p.m. Borough Fire Department and Public Safety officials arrived on the scene within minutes.
The fire was contained to a stove and pan in the Brown Co-op kitchen. A male student, who lives in Scully Hall, was cooking in the facility with a female friend when the pan caught fire. He extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher before officials arrived.
During the incident, hot grease from the pan splashed the forearms and hands of the female student and caused her injuries, Marks said.
Damage to the kitchen was deemed minor, Marks said, adding that damage to the stove had not yet been determined.
