On Sept. 16, Bakersfield College’s Public Safety officers were notified of a fire in the Renegade Room kitchen, which they responded to and immediately called the Fire Department. The Bakersfield Fire Department, across from the campus, responded to the situation and evaluated and inspected gas lines in the Renegade Room to ensure safety. The Public Safety officers established an evacuation for the students and staff and remained on scene until the Fire Department determined the area safe. It turned out to be a small grease fire and no damage was caused to the kitchen; neither staff nor students were hurt.
