An AES rooftop HVAC overheated and triggered a fire alarm. The building exercised appropriate fire drill protocol and evacuated the building and the fire department in conjunction with plant facilities investigated the incident. The building has been cleared and deemed safe. A strong odor is persisting on the intermediate side, so all students are on the primary side. If parents would like to pick up their child they may do so on the primary side.
We appreciate the fact that our staff, students, and fire department are working together during this time.
