Students at Petitcodiac School were forced to evacuate earlier today.
Anglophone East Spokesperson Stephanie Patterson says the fire alarm was sounded at the K to 12 school and Petitcodiac Fire was called in to investigate.
“The Petitcodiac Fire Chief indicated that there was an issue that caused a room in the school to smell like smoke and advised that students not return into the building until a cause can be adequately assessed and resolved,” Patterson says.
Students were dismissed at 10:30 and sent home.
“They were picked up at the evacuation site indicated in their Operational Plan,” Patterson says.
She adds they are awaiting further details from the Fire Chief.
