Firefighters and other emergency personnel were dispatched in response to an active fire alarm at the Cherokee County Career and Technology Center, just off of the Chesnut Bypass in Centre – on Friday Morning.
The call went out at approximately 9:20 and all campus buildings were immediately evacuated; fortunately no one was injured.
A small fire began in an electrical closet in the school’s meeting room, which was unoccupied at the time; the fire was extinguished moments later.
Classes resumed once an “all clear” was given and that area was deemed safe.
