Franklin Clark/Cadiz Record
The Cadiz Fire Department (vehicle pictured above), the State Fire Marshall and others inspected the Trigg County Primary/Intermediate School building after a fire alarm went off Thursday.
Trigg County School Superintendent Travis Hamby said all of the students were safely escorted from the building and were moved to the Trigg County High School Gymnasium and Little Theatre while the State Fire Marshall, school officials and members of the Cadiz Fire Department and Cadiz Police Department inspected the building.
Matt Ladd, operations director for Trigg County Schools, stated that a ballast in one of the fluorescent lights overheated, and that the smoke hit one of the smoke detectors, which automatically set off the fire alarm.
Hamby said that students and staff were relocated to the gym and Little Theatre because of the high temperatures outside and because there were bathrooms nearby.
