By Richard J. Meislin

One Dunster House resident was slightly injured in a fire last night. Connie Cervilla '74 was slightly injured as she was leaving the building. She was treated and released at the University Health Services.

The Cambridge Fire Department, responding to the 11:45 p.m. fire, drove two firetrucks into the House courtyard and raised a ladder to the upper story, but everyone was already evacuated.

Cause Undetermined

Officials had not determined the cause of the fire last night, but one withness said it may have started in the suite's fireplace.

Smoke poured out of the fourth-floor Centry suite, as firemen tossed furniture, paper, a firedoor and blinds out of the suite.

The interior of the suite was largely destroyed, but the fire did not spread to other areas of the House. No estimate of damage was immediately available.
