Fire crews ventilated smoke from the building before allowing students and staff to reenter, Lovicott said.

Lovicott added there were no injuries and UWPD is turning the investigation over to the Madison Fire Department. He said he did not know they cause of the fire, and city fire crews would now be looking into potential causes.
