Police, fire and PSE&G responded to the Black Box Theater. It was contained quickly and classes resumed, but the utility company remained on scene.
The district issued this notice to parents:
Today, Columbia High School was evacuated at approximately 10:05AM when staff noticed a gas-like odor. Students and staff were safely evacuated as a precaution while the fire department investigated.
Once the Maplewood Fire Department deemed the building safe, all students and staff returned, and the day is proceeding as normal.
As always, student safety remains a top priority in our district. We are grateful to the Maplewood Fire Department for their quick response and assistance.
