Two fire trucks pulled up to Weld, one directly below the third-floor room's windows, according to Heather B. Long '03.
The firemen proceeded to search the room, picked the charred S'more from the trash and confiscated it.

Other Weld residents did not express any concern about the alarm, but they did smell burnt marshmallows and came down to investigate.
"It smells like there would have been a great S'more," said Aron R. Croft '03, who arrived after the firefighters left and had not heard that an actual S'more had caused the alarm.
"There was no smoking gun, just a smoking S'more," Lee, the proctor, said. She added that seeing all the students come down to check out the situation was "a huge Weld bonding moment."
