Minor Fire at AHS

Just got this email from Dr. Fitzpatrick...


Dear Parents,
On Wednesday evening October 7, 2009 just before 6:00pm a small contained grease fire was detected in the cooking area of the Senior Cafeteria of the Allentown High School. The school was quickly evacuated and multiple fire departments responded. There were no injuries and there was minimal damage to the area. The area must be cleaned and inspected by the Health Department before it can be reopened for lunch service. Arrangements for lunch will be announced to the students in the morning.
Some students were restricted from reentering the building at the conclusion after school sports and activities and, as a result, were unable to get their books necessary to complete their homework. Teachers have been made aware of this situation and have been asked to excuse these students from their homework assignments. We appreciate the help of the staff and fire officials and are grateful that there were no injuries or damage to the facility. Dr. Fitzpatrick
