The CFE Arena and surrounding businesses reopened this morning after being shut down late Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
UCF\u2019s gas provider conducted testing overnight to track down the source of the gas leak. The culprit was a commercial stove inside Knightro\u2019s. The stove has been disconnected and is out of commission, but business at Knightro\u2019s and within the Arena is normal.<\/p>\n
The arena was evacuated Tuesday evening because of\u00a0 a gas odor that started at Knightro’s, a campus dining facility. Orange County Fire Rescue units responded to the Arena after 9 p.m.<\/p>\n
The evacuation impacted other offices and restaurants inside the Arena; it did not affect any residence halls on campus.<\/p>\n
As a precaution, the Arena, All-Knight Study Area and Jimmy John’s remained closed overnight to allow fire officials to continue investigating the source of the leak.<\/p>\n
CFE Arena was largely unoccupied at the time of the leak. UCF’s women’s basketball team defeated Houston 59-38 earlier Tuesday evening. The game had been over for about 45 minutes when the leak occurred.<\/p>\n
Knightro’s closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The CFE Arena and surrounding businesses reopened this morning after being shut down late Tuesday night.
