"We missed lunch, but we'll be back serving tonight, High Table and all," commented kitchen steward Pete Bowers on yesterday morning's Lowell House Dining Hall fire. The blaze broke out in the kitchen at about 10:20 a.m.
C. T. Tucker, the Dining Hall's General Manager, attributed the fire to a boiled-over grease kettle. He said that the kitchen fire extinguishers were used and additional equipment was brought in from the other halls. "The Cambridge Fire Department did an excellent job helping us," he added.
