On Tuesday, March 25 Zionsville Fire Department sent engines to Zionsville Community High School in response to a fire in the chemistry lab.

School principal Tim East released the following statement to parents and guardians:

Dear ZCHS Parents,

Today, during 5th period we had a flare up during a chemistry lab.  No one was injured but a sprinkler head was activated and the fire alarm sounded to evacuate the school.  Our building remained evacuated for approximately 20 minutes until the Zionsville Fire Department gave us the all clear to reenter the building.

I am happy to report that all of our fire safety systems performed perfectly.  Other than some localized water damage, the students, staff, and building are safe.  The Zionsville Fire Department and our maintenance staff have my personal thanks for their swift support and action.

Each of our schools has in place a comprehensive Crisis Management Plan to protect our students in the event of imminent danger in our schools.  This incident again highlights the importance of having and practicing regular evacuation and emergency drills.  On behalf of our entire “Community of Learners” we would like to thank you for your continued efforts as partners in keeping our children and schools safe.

Your Partner in Education,

Tim East
