A fire broke out in a junior high school the evening of March 6 when a curtain caught fire on a stage. Fire crews responded within minutes of the fire alarm going off at the school, and they found that the fire sprinkler by the stage had activated and put out the fire.
“It worked perfectly,” Unified Fire Captain Fitzgerald Petersen said. “We’re very happy with the response, how quickly it was contained and put out.”
No one was in the building at the time of the fire, and the cause is under investigation.
