COLLEGE PARK, Md.—The Green Tidings food truck will not reopen this semester, Dining Services spokesman Bart Hipple said Monday.

A grease fire on March 7 injured four employees cleaning the truck after it closed, putting it out of operation indefinitely.

Three of the employees, none of whom were students, were treated immediately for first-degree burns, while the fourth remained in the hospital to receive surgery for second- and third-degree burns, Hipple said.
