That sucks. Thankfully, it doesn't look too bad. How does that happen? Any more info @Cofifa ?

from the nj.com article:

The fire began when a roofer finishing the flat roof on the new Rutgers academic building ignited some construction debris, said Christopher Paladino, president of the New Brunswick Development Corporation, or DEVCO, which is overseeing the construction.

"The roof was metal and concrete. No apparent structural damage," said Paladino, who was on the scene inspecting the damage.

There were no injuries and fire inspectors are allowing construction to continue on the building, Paladino said.
 
Kkow just about nothing about roofs--can it be replaced by the end of August (as well as any other fire/water damage) ?
