On Monday morning just after 10:00 a.m., the Reed City Fire Department and local law enforcement responded to Reed City High School due to a report of smoke inside the building.
According to Superintendent Michael Sweet, there was a "heavy electrical smell" that was coming from one of the gymnasium locker rooms. The cause of the smell and smoke was confirmed to be a damaged transformer in one of the heating units.
High school students have been evacuated into the Middle School to allow proper inspection and response by local fire and emergency personnel.
All students and staff are reportedly safe, and no one was injured. Local police vehicles have blocked entry roads to the school as a precautionary measure at time.
More details will be released as they become available.
