The fire happened just before 10 a.m. at the Charleston Charter School of Math and Science on King Street. When firefighters arrived they found the school evacuation under way and were told of a fire in a bathroom on the second floor. “Crews entered to find a single fire sprinkler head that was activated and contained the fire to the bathroom area,” CFD officials said.”Firefighters completed extinguishment and proceeded to control the water flow to the sprinkler system and evacuate smoke from the building.” A report states members of the Fire Marshal Division responded to investigate the incident and determined the fire was intentionally set in the bathroom.
