By Kyeland Jackson —

A swarm of firefighters and officials converged outside of the chemistry building Monday afternoon.

Four firetrucks, one ambulance and hazmat vehicle and around 20 firefighters, geared with oxygen tanks, responded to the call. The officials reportedly responded to concerns for a student in the building. University of Louisville spokesperson John Drees said the student reported feeling lightheaded, prompting the call for emergency personnel.

Asked about the swarms of personnel called, one firefighter said it’s normal for calls to “overshoot” the response to situations.
