York Fire and Life Safety crews were called to the school complex around 3:45 p.m. Arriving units found heavy smoke and fire in an equipment room. The initial fire was controlled by the sprinkler system.
Regular classes had dismissed for the day at that point, and all students and other personnel who were there for after-school activities got out safely.
If your kids were there for after-school activities, you can pick them up at the nearby Amory Funeral Home, located at 410 Grafton Drive. All remaining activities at the schools for the day are canceled.
As a result of the fire, Grafton Middle and High Schools will be closed Tuesday, February 4, and Wednesday, February 5. All after-school activities on those days are also canceled.
School employees will receive a communication from their building principals regarding staff schedules.
A plan is being worked on for students and staff to reclaim any personal possessions left on campus.
