(KNSI) — A malfunctioning bathroom fan is believed to be the cause of a small fire at Stride Academy on Tuesday afternoon.
According to a Critical Incident Report from the St. Cloud Fire Department, they were called to the school around 4:50 after the school’s fire alarm was activated. They arrived and were told by the staff that there was a smell of smoke in the building. Crews went inside and found a small fire had started in the attic space. The automatic sprinkler system had activated, preventing it from spreading.
Everyone got out of the building safely, and no one was hurt.
