Woman injured in fridge explosion at college

Part of the college on the Strand Road, in the city, was evacuated around 8.30am today.

It has been reported the woman was taken to hospital for minor injuries.

Three fire engines from the Northern Ireland Fire Service attended the scene.

In a statement, the NWRC said it was due to “a failure in one of the aisle chilling units in the Tower canteen.”

“One member of staff was taken to A&E for minor injuries sustained during the incident and has subsequently been released.

“The Tower building was re-opened at 10.20am. Other buildings in the College’s Strand Road campus were not affected.”
