All students are safe but bus routes were delayed after a fire alarm was pulled at Bluegrass Middle School Wednesday.
Hardin County Schools Community Relations Specialist John Wright says the alarm was pulled at approximately 2:45 p.m. on March 25.
“The school administration called 911 and the Radcliff Fire Department responded immediately,” Wright said. “In the meantime, school staff and students evacuated the building, and after an investigation by RFD and the Hardin County Schools Buildings and Grounds team, it was found that a piece of equipment had malfunctioned and overheated.”
Students returned to the building to gather their belongings at around 3:20 p.m. The delayed release of the middle school students then created a domino effect.
“Wednesday’s dismissal occurred 20 minutes after the normal dismissal time, therefore buses that normally take Bluegrass Middle School students home and return to the campus to take John Hardin High School students home after that school’s dismissal were late returning to John Hardin,” Wright said. “That caused a delay for some John Hardin High School students’ arrival at home.”
Wright says at no time were students and staff at Bluegrass Middle School ever in any danger.
