Campus Community,

A localized electrical fire occurred in Einstein Bros. Bagels, on the lower level of the Illini Union this morning. The fire suppression systems worked as designed, and the fire was contained to the Einstein Bros. Bagels restaurant approximately ten minutes after firefighters arrived on the scene. No one was injured. Einstein Bros. Bagels is closed until further notice.

The following restaurants in the lower level of the Illini Union plan to be open today:

• Qdoba – Open for regular business at 11:00 AM
