| Area 26 6/23/2008 School Fire |

A fire in the cafeteria caused the evacuation of Flinn Elementary
School in Sissonville on Monday, said Sissonville volunteer fire chief
Tom Johnson.
The fire started at about 3 p.m. because of a faulty exhaust fan, he
said. That caused the cafeteria's dry-fire suppression system to be
activated. The dry system uses powders to put out the fire, he said.
No one was hurt, Johnson said.
Kids in the building for a summer school program will not be able to
return to classes until Wednesday, he said. It will take that long to
clean and restock the cafeteria, he said.
