Email 20 minutes ago from Nat Vaughn –
Good afternoon –
This afternoon (around 12:30 p.m.) our fire alarms went off due to a ‘burning smell in the art wing’ and we evacuated the building. The fire and police department investigated, and the cause of the smell was a burned out heat motor in the ventilation system. The problem has been addressed and all students have returned to their last period class for the afternoon. As a safety precaution, we are keeping the art rooms clear while the space is ventilated. We commend our students and staff for their cooperation and responsibility during our evacuation.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Take care.
Nat Vaughn
