All clear at WEM School after fire call

The fire detectors and the WEM School in Waterville were activated when an air-handler belt broke and caused another to create a lot of smoke in the mechanical room. Friday, Feb. 1 at approximately 12:40 p.m. The students were all evacuated until Building and Maintenance Director Scott Allen and the Waterville Fire Department deemed all was OK for the students to re-enter the building. According to WEM Superintendent Joel Whitehurst, no one was in danger and school resumed shortly after the evacuation.
