Students walking past Cooke and Hochstetter halls were surprised Thursday morning by thick clouds of black smoke billowing out of the Hochstetter chimneys.Trucks from the local Getzville Fire Department arrived on the scene within minutes after noticing the smoke while at a nearby automobile accident.Al Swavy, assistant director of Occupational and Environmental Safety Services, believes the problems arose because the furnace did not reach the proper temperature required to change the incinerator's products into regular vapor.The furnace in question is used to incinerate lab animals and lab paraphernalia after testing is complete."We're not sure just yet if we had a burner malfunction or not," said Swavy.
