On Tuesday, June 14, an alert was issued to families and emergency contacts at the Magnolia Elementary School regarding the fire, which forced students to relocate to Magnolia Middle School.
No injuries were reported, and a spokesperson for the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company said that crews had to temporarily wait on the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company to respond to the scene to de-energize the power before extinguishing to blaze.
Firefighters at the scene were able to contain the fire before it spread to the building, which was closed on Tuesday morning.
“We are asking any parents and guardians who can pick up your Magnolia Elementary student from Magnolia Middle School to do so as soon as possible,” school district officials said.
“If you are unable to pick up your Magnolia Elementary student from Magnolia Middle at this time, regular bus transportation will be provided at the normal dismissal time for Magnolia Elementary School and students will dismiss from Magnolia Middle School where they will stay for the remainder of the day."
