We currently have 6 firefighting appliances and approximately 36 firefighters on scene,” says Smith.
He says the fire is currently on the 3rd floor – initial reports indicate it started in the office space and is spreading toward the gymnasium.The fire has not been contained and reports of cracks in some walls of the building have been confirmed.
