Most students look forward to fire drills in school. When the alarms rang on Monday morning though, it wasn't just a drill.
Shortly after 10 a.m. Monday, the Jamestown Fire Department received a call reporting a fire in the kitchen of Bush Elementary School. According to Lt. Tim Glenn, lead fire investigator, the root of the problem was an oven in the kitchen.
"It was a small electrical fire," said Glenn. "The flames never got out of the oven and we were able to remove it from the school, so everything turned out fine."
