Fire at ACES contained minutes before first students arrive

By Ed Waggener

A fire at 6:50amCT at Adair County Elementary School, 870 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY, was contained by staff already on the gounds minutes before the first students were scheduled to arrive at 7amCT.

The fire department was notified, and some first responders came to the scene, but the fire department call was cancelled after the fire, in a clothes dryer in the school cafeteria, was contained with damage restricted to the dryer itself - which was a total loss.

"There was some smoke odor in the immediate area, but ventilation reduced that to zero by the time students were served breakfast," Superintendent Reed said.

He said that students' enter the school through the gymnasium in the morning, and so would not likely be able to detect any hint of odor.
