Update: Loveland Middle School grease fire

On Friday, March 14, there was a grease fire at Loveland Middle School at approximately 9 a.m.  The fire started in Room 60 during a Life Skills class where students were in the process of making fried pies in honor of “Pi Day” celebrated every year on March 14 (3.14).

All of the students are safe and no one was injured.  When the fire began, the teacher immediately sent all the students out of the room and instructed a student to pull the fire alarm.  Simultaneously, another teacher in the hallway called 911. The School Resource Officer Fred Barnes came into the room and extinguished the fire with the fire extinguisher located in the room.

All students in the Loveland Middle School and Loveland Intermediate School campus were immediately evacuated and spent 20-25 minutes outside while the fire department inspected the classrooms.  When the fire department indicated that the IntermediateSchool side was safe, they sent all of the students back into that side of the campus.  All LIS students returned to their classrooms and the LMS students were sent to the LIS gymnasium.  After the fire department determined the building was safe, the students were permitted back into their classrooms at approximately 11 a.m.

All students from the Life Skills class and the teacher were checked by paramedics and determined to be unharmed.  Parents of these students were also contacted.
