At approximately 7:30 this morning, the fire alarm rang, alerting students to leave their classrooms immediately.
The alarm only lasted for a few minutes. Announcements instructed students to return to their classrooms without continuing standard fire procedures.
No explanation was given for the alarm, leaving the student body to be left wondering what had happened.
Assistant principal Kirk Kennedy was inquired for further details.
“It was in a chemistry classroom and it was a science experiment that produced too much smoke and some of the alarms got set off,” he stated.
The science experiment in question occurred in Mr. Ginex-Orinion’s class. The lab assignment was a re-crystallization process that involved using Bunsen burners to heat up acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate. Chemistry students were utilizing re-crystallization as means to practice stoichiometry and make calculations.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the day went on as usual.
“Fortunately, there were no casualties…”
Really…
The information is all wrong. Please check your resources before writing an article about it. I was actually one of the students that was in this chemistry classroom
