White River Elementary students enjoy some quality time with K9 Carbon while NFD keeps everyone safe
Shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Noblesville Fire Department (NFD) was dispatched to White River Elementary on a possible school fire.
First arriving units were met with light smoke and quickly located the source. The fire had activated the sprinkler system, which stopped the fire from extending, limiting damage to the room of origin.
The small fire took place after school hours and was contained by the sprinkler system and extinguished by NFD personnel. The staff and after school care children were able to safely evacuate the building without any danger or injuries.
Shortly after NFD arrived, the staff and children were able to re-enter the gymnasium and wait there until they were picked up. During their short wait, the children were introduced to NFD therapy dog Carbon, who visited the children until the scene was released to fire investigators.
NFD was assisted by Noblesville Police Department.
