Nick Rolovich extinguishes fire inside WSU practice bubble

WSU head football coach Nick Rolovich has had to put out a lot of figurative fires within the football program since taking over last year. Now he’s putting out literal fires.

According to a story from Pullman Radio, the Cougar football team was holding a conditioning session inside of the indoor practice facility “bubble” on Monday when a small fire broke out in an electrical junction box at one of the light towers. The fire department was called, but the situation was already in hand by the time fire fighters arrived.

“(Rolovich) saw the smoke and flames and has able to run over there, grab a fire extinguisher and safely extinguish the fire,” WSU Fire and Safety Compliance Officer Darren Jones told Pullman Radio.
