A small fire broke out at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday in the kitchen at Mercer Elementary School. The fire was caused by the electrical system that ran one of the pressure cookers, said Superintendent Dr. Larry Connelly. The fire was quickly extinguished and the electricity was turned off, he added. As a precaution, students were evacuated until the fire department could arrive, he said. |
