HUDSON, N.H. – Alvirne High School safely conducted an evacuation procedure on Thursday morning after a fire was ignited in a first-floor classroom.
The procedure was initiated at approximately 8:15 am, which prompted all students and staff to quickly leave the building and gather in the school’s parking lot. The Hudson Fire Department was immediately contacted about the incident and swiftly arrived on scene to contain the fire. All students and staff then walked to gather indoors at Hills Garrison Elementary School, which is located a couple of hundred yards from Alvirne.
The Hudson Fire Department quickly extinguished the fire, and the building was deemed safe to reoccupy. No students or staff were harmed throughout the duration of the incident.
To ensure that the building could be properly cleaned, all students were dismissed early, at 10 am.
Alvirne plans on holding classes as normally scheduled for December 12.
