Flame retardant mishap closes Calhoun dining for a night
Hungry Hounies looking for dinner Tuesday night were turned away from their dining hall doors by what a posted sign characterized as “unforeseen circumstances.”
Around 4 p.m., hood fire protection systems in the basement kitchen of the Calhoun College dining hall sprayed flame retardants throughout the room, although a fire had not actually broken out, Charles Bennett, assistant director of Yale University Dining Services, said.
