Hot seat

UAPD responded to a fire at Delta Chi fraternity on First Street on May 1.

A UAPD officer was on patrol on First Street when he saw black smoke and flames coming from the courtyard of Delta Chi fraternity.

The officer called the Tucson Fire Department. TFD responded and put out the fire.

The Tucson Police Department took over the investigation because the incident was in TPD’s jurisdiction.

There was no further UAPD investigation.
