DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- No one was hurt when a fire broke out inside the Rubella lab at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Tuesday night.
CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said the fire started at around midnight in Building 18. The building will remain closed Wednesday.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Skinner said it may have been started by a malfunctioning piece of sterilization equipment.
Building 18 houses about 470 CDC employees. In addition to Rubella, scientists work on measles, mumps, HIV, meningitis, hepatitis and norovirus inside its labs. Skinner said there was no release or loss of containment of any germs in the fire.
