Fire Alarm Officers responded to a fire alarm at the Eyring Science Center. Upon arrival, the officer was unable to locate any smoke in the building. The officer checked the fire panel and observed a water flow alarm. Continuing the inspection, the officer discovered a mechanical room with water flowing from under the door. Upon opening the door, the officer observed a large amount of water discharging from a fire sprinkler head. An individual was in the basement below the sprinkler, who expressed concern about electrocution. Dispatch was advised of the situation, and Provo Fire was contacted and requested to respond. Several BYU building care and repair personnel were also contacted and responded to the scene.
Lost Property An officer contacted the reporting party (RP), who indicated that they had left their AirPods in class and had tracked the device to a residence in Provo. Before the officer arrived, the RP managed to contact the resident and successfully retrieved the missing items. The RP believed that the items were taken by mistake and knew the individual involved, so they did not want the officer to follow up on the matter.

Fireworks An officer was on patrol around the Taylor Building when a loud explosion was heard. The officer proceeded to the parking lot of the Taylor Building, where two individuals who witnessed the incident waved him over. They explained that they had observed a silver SUV and a white Toyota 4Runner enter the parking lot from 900 East. The vehicles drove through the parking lot with an individual hanging out of the 4Runner. They then saw an item being thrown from the 4Runner at the other SUV, followed by the explosion. This incident was captured on camera, and footage will be requested. The officers followed the suspect vehicle using university cameras until it reached the area of University Parkway and Canyon Road, at which point its location was lost and its direction became unknown. As of now, the drivers have not been identified.
