Queen's University Belfast building to reopen after fire
A Queen's University building in Belfast closed due to fire is expected to reopen later.
Emergency services received a call at 11:47 BST on Thursday reporting a fire in a chemical lab in the David Keir building on Stranmillis Road.
Six fire engines, two "specialist appliances" and a mobile command unit went to the incident.
An investigation is under way to determine how the fire started.
In a statement, the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue service said: "Fire crews dealt with a fire in a chemical storeroom of a laboratory on the third floor of the four-storey building.
"It was quite a challenging incident for firefighters to deal with due to the extensive size of the building and the nature of what was involved in the fire."
"Fire crews ventilated the building and the incident was dealt with at 16:10 BST. Early indications would suggest the fire was accidental."
No-one was injured during the alert. A spokesman for QUB said it was too early to say what caused the fire and that a storeroom had been extensively damaged.
