THUNDER BAY – Students and staff at Westmount Public School were sent home early on Friday after a small fire on the second floor.
Thunder Bay Fire Rescue responded to an alarm at the south-side school in the morning but arrived to find the fire was extinguished. A small paper towel dispenser had been set on fire in an upstairs bathroom, said a representative for Thunder Bay Fire Rescue.
Fire crews did any air quality check, which came back clear, but the fire had left a smell.
The school sent students and staff home for the rest of the day.
No one was injured.
