MOORHEAD, Minn (Valley News Live) - Kise Dining Hall was evacuated Wednesday morning after a commercial dishwasher started a small fire.

The university sent an email to students and staff notifying them of the incident. They say the fire started around 9:15 a.m. The dining hall was closed down for about two hours. The email states some dining services will be limited.

If students have any dietary restrictions due to an allergy, they are encouraged to ask for a dining hall manager to help accommodate their needs.

No word if there were any injuries.
