Primary / Secondary School, School / University Louisville, KY – Fire at middle school put out by sprinkler system; Fire started in tablet charging station November 16, 2016 viking210 The de Paul School students have a longer weekend thanks to an overnight fire. The fire broke out around 7:00 PM Sunday night on a cart that charges tablets. According to Tony Kemper, head of school, no one was on campus during the fire and only the cart was damaged. The school’s sprinkler system put out the fire, but water from the sprinklers seeped from the third to first floor. Class was canceled Monday as a restoration company helped with water cleanup. “There’s no structural damage, just a bit of restoration work they need to get done,” said Kemper. The de Paul School will be closed Tuesday as cleanup continues. Students should return to class Wednesday.
