School Board: 'False Alarm' At North Queens School


It's a false alarm at the North Queens School this afternoon. Various fire departments were dispatched to the school in Caledonia shortly before classes were dismissed to check things out.  Workers are currently replacing the roof at the school, but a spokeswoman from the local school board confirmed the false alarm earlier this afternoon. She says debris from the ongoing roof project interrupted a smoke detector causing the fire alarm to go off. Students were moved to the nearby fire hall for pick-up as a safety precaution. Classes will resume as scheduled tomorrow.
