Fire at St. Andrew’ School
From NBC12:
Crews tell us they responded to St. Andrew’s School, located at 227 South Cherry Street, around 4:46 p.m Sunday after being contacted by construction workers. They say initial reports are that an air conditioning unit on the third floor caught fire.
The fire was marked under control around 5:05 p.m. A cause is under investigation.
A building inspector will help determine the condition of the building. It’s unclear if classes could be impacted. The school has been undergoing renovations all summer.
Also, there was a ‘suspicious package’ down on Tredegar Street near the Civil War Museum. Police had closed off the road as a precaution while it was being investigated.
