STOCKTON (CBS13) - An electrical problem forced the evacuation of a UOP fraternity house on Tuesday morning.
The fire happened at Pike Kappa Alpha on Fulton Street and Pacific Avenue. Luckily one of the fraternity brothers smelled smoke and got everyone out.
Firefighters say a sprinkler in the basement had malfunctioned and filled the home with smoke.

Campus police and fire are now going to check smoke detectors at other Greek houses to make sure they're working.
