On the morning of October 4, 2024, Fitzwilliam College experienced a fire caused by a suspected electrical issue with its solar panels. Staff members first noticed a plume of smoke rising from the roof of the auditorium, prompting an immediate call to fire services. The estimated damage from the incident is around £10,000.

Upon arrival, four fire engines were deployed to the scene, with one utilizing a fire hydrant located on Storey’s Way. Emergency services acted quickly to extinguish the fire, which was determined to be related to cables associated with the building’s solar panel system. Fortunately, the incident did not affect any student housing, and there were no injuries or evacuations reported during the event.

The auditorium, constructed in 2004, is a vital part of the college, designed as a state-of-the-art performance space with a seating capacity of 250. It regularly hosts plays, concerts, and lectures, making it an essential venue for the college community.

Despite the fire, a spokesperson confirmed that all procedures were followed, ensuring safety and minimizing disruption. An investigation into the cause of the fire will now take place.

Following the incident, a safety survey was conducted, and the college announced that the auditorium will be back in operational use starting tomorrow morning.

This event highlights the importance of early fire detection systems. For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present.

TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
