Baltimore County Public School officials announced that Sparks Elementary School on Belfast Road had to close at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 27 due to fumes from an overnight fire at a nearby farm close to I-83.

The fire caused the air quality inside the building to drop, prompting officials to cancel the school day early as smoke was still visible on Thursday morning.
