After students were evacuated, Vanderbilt University Police, as well as a Metro Nashville Department truck responded to the alarm.
Student testing was postponed until later in the afternoon, according to the Vanderbilt Hustler.
McTyeire International House was also evacuated Sept. 17 this year due to a heating unit catching fire. There was also another dryer fire earlier this year on Sept. 27 in Crawford House.
