Maine High School Catches Fire Early Sunday Morning
According to WABI TV 5, crews responded to reports of a fire burning Sunday morning at Westbrook High School.
Officials say there was smoke and flames coming from a third floor classroom when they arrived. Fortunately, the blaze triggered the school's fire suppression sprinkler system which is what is being credited with preventing the fire to spread.
According to a Facebook post from the Westbrook Fire Department, The cause of the fire was determined to be electrical in nature secondary to the improper use of an extension cord with a window air conditioner.
In addition to the Westbrook High School, Dr. Levesque Elementary School in the Aroostook County town of Frenchville, Maine partially burned down over the weekend as well. While an entire wing of that school was destroyed, no injuries were reported in that incident either.
