A SMALL FIRE CAUSED THE EVACUATION OF THE LE MARS HIGH SCHOOL THIS AFTERNOON. SMOKE STARTED COMING THROUGH VENTS INTO THE MEDIA CENTER AND ADJACENT CLASSROOMS AROUND 1:45PM.
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT TODD WENDT SAYS THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A FURNACE PROBLEM. DR. WENDT SAYS THE EVACUATION WENT SMOOTHLY AS STUDENTS WERE MOVED INTO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GYM.
FANS HELPED BLOW SMOKE OUT OF THE CLASSROOMS, AND STUDENTS WERE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THEIR CLASSES A SHORT TIME LATER.
DR. WENDT SAYS THE FURNACE MOTOR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED.
