G.T. Norman Elementary was evacuated earlier this morning after fire alarms sounded in the building. According to a recent email from the school, everybody is safe and school is back in session.
The initial investigation found the fire alarms were triggered by smoke, which came from nearby concrete demolition and entered the ventilation intake on the outside of the building.
"Adjustments to the intake system have been made until the concrete demolition is complete," Superintendent Mike Sweet said.
According to Sweet, the alarm was triggered around 8:30 a.m. and was cleared after about 15 minutes. The Reed City Fire Department cleared the building prior to staff and student re-entry as a safety precaution.
