Only a week after faulty electrics at Mansfield College caused a fire that left undergraduates without access to their computer room, the fire brigade were called out again, this time in response to a false alarm. The smell of smoke caused the main building to be evacuated, leaving students without facilities for several hours. Opinion amongst the students appeared to be angry as many finalists were hurried outside. A third year PPEist, Jonathan Lindley told Cherwell “This is a farce. We have enough on our plate without sirens going off.” The college is to look into its fire and safety provision before the beginning of next term.
