Area fire departments responded to a report of the smell of smoke Tuesday morning at Ernest Ward Middle School.

We always error on the side of safety!! It was an flurescent light that burned out due to power surges from crews working on power lines (upgrading from what we understand). like many electrical or electronic products, flurescent lights can sometimes fail in a way where one of the electrical components or plastic materials will briefly produce a very irritating odor and possibly some smoke. Any smoke or odor produced is in a low concentration, which will not result in a hazard. The bulb was replace and all was good. However, again I will ALWAYS call the VFD to be safe rather than sorry when I have custody of God’s most precious gifts daily:))
the same thing happend the past 2 years i was there hello people fix it already!!!
Hope our children can be safe there ! Worries me they don’t know what caused this !!!
They need to hurry up and get those children out of that old school.
