A vehicle fire occurred earlier today, April 17, 2026, in Parking Field 1 and was reported immediately. Thanks to the quick actions of our community members and the rapid response from emergency teams, the fire was safely extinguished within minutes.
The Department of Public Safety and Transportation, in coordination with the Garden City Fire Department, managed the scene efficiently to ensure the area remained secured. The incident began at approximately 12:15pm and was fully resolved by 12:36pm. There were no injuries reported.
Parking Field 1 is open and the impacted area is blocked off to provide the Facilities team time to clear glass and other debris before returning to full normal operations.
The cooperation and continued support of the community in maintaining a safe campus environment is greatly appreciated.
