“The fire was contained to a single room,” he wrote. “There is water in parts of the building from the sprinkler system.”
Sun West School Division said the fire alarm was triggered at 5 p.m. and noted that nobody was hurt.
“Students and staff in the building at the time evacuated when the fire alarm was triggered and evacuated safely following school fire protocols,” Sun West’s Mike Fedyk said in a statement.
“The school’s sprinkler system activated and contained the fire to the classroom where it started.
“While fire damage was limited, adjacent areas experienced smoke damage, and water damage occurred in spaces beside and below the affected room.”
The school division said the fire is not being investigated as suspicious. It said early findings show the fire started at a plug-in connecting to the school’s hydroponics lab.
Crews will assess the damage and start cleaning up the building on Tuesday. The division said more information on whether kids will be let back into the school on Wednesday will be provided at a later time.
