    Raleigh fire crews are working to learn what caused a fire on Thursday at Shaw University.

    WRAL’s Breaking News Tracker is on the scene where
    ladder trucks were seen outside a building with smoke coming from a window.

    Students on the scene told WRAL News the building is a dorm. WRAL News is working to learn what caused the fire and if there were any injuries.  

    Students on the scene told WRAL News the person whose dorm caught on fire was using a space heater since the building was having heating issues. Students said that when they attempted to pull the fire alarm, it was not working, and the students went door to door alerting people about the fire. 

    WRAL News previously reported in 2024 about
    students going days with heat and hot water in a residence hall.

    Students now say they are upset, and call the
    living conditions unacceptable.
