Small Fire At Dalewood Middle School

Captain Danny Usher with Engine 15 said Mickey Robertson, a school resource officer, noticed a small fire coming from an electrical outlet. Officer Robertson grabbed a portable fire extinguisher and had the fire out before the first firefighters arrived on the scene. No one was injured.

Captain Usher said the students who were in the cafeteria at the time were temporarily relocated to the gym as a precaution. The firefighters used a high-powered fan to ventilate the building and then cleared the scene. There was minimal damage to the building. Electrical repairs will have to be made, and some cleanup was necessary due to the discharged fire extinguisher.
