Plumes of smoke filled the air at Texas Tech University’s Recreational Center on Wednesday as authorities responded to multiple fires on campus in the US. In a separate incident, a gas leak at the Engineering Building led to an evacuation, while green flames were seen emerging from a manhole. Officials have urged the public to avoid the campus, and videos of the underground fire and green flames circulated on social media. The cause of the fires remains under investigation. "TechAlert! There is a power outage on the Texas Tech University campus in Lubbock affecting multiple areas. Additionally, we are evacuating the Engineering Key due to a gas odor.
