Fire alarm disrupts first day of school
Firemen exit the building after confirming that the alarm was only a faulty smoke detector.
The first day of school didn’t go as planned after a fire alarm sounded during fourth hour.
The alarm not only interrupted classes, but also cut short lunch shifts.
Crews from Metro West Fire Department arrived shortly after the alarm sounded.
According to Battalion Chief Mike Digman, the alarm was caused by a faulty smoke detector on the second floor.
Once the building was secured, students re-entered and followed a modified bell schedule to accommodate for the lost time.
Student Resource Officer Jim McDonald confirmed that the source of the alarm was an incorrectly wired smoke detector in the newly-renovated science wing.
