A recent fire on Turner Street in Waltham has displaced six Brandeis students from their off-campus residence for the upcoming spring semester.

According to Deputy Chief Cardillo of the Waltham Fire Department, the fire, whose cause is still under investigation, occurred on Dec. 23 at 1:58 a.m.

The site of the incident, a two-family house, is still standing, but it is no longer a livable structure.

Cardillo went on to say that while there were no injuries reported, to his knowledge there were at least three Brandeis students at home at the time of the fire.

As a result of these circumstances, the University has been helpful in aiding those students involved by finding alternative housing for those who have requested it.

According to Dean of Student Affairs Rick Sawyer not only have these students been given on-campus housing, but attempts have been made to place the students in appropriate living areas for upper classmen.
