According to Channel 3000, the UW Athletic Department said the fire involved a roofing solvent material at the site of the stadium's south endzone renovation project, and the injured person was a subcontractor working on the building.
“Our thoughts are with the individual who was injured this morning and we are grateful to the first responders both already on-site as well as from fire and police personnel, who assisted during the incident,” the athletic department said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Campus police said their was no structural damage to the facility.
