Cabot School on fire

[proffitthog]

Cabot high school North is on fire. anyone with kids in the school might want to call and check up on them because some of the schools where giving out schedules today. Apparently its a major fire.

[proffitthog]

Its Cabot Jr High North.

I hear that it is burning to the ground.

[RazorHawg16]

Anyone heard anything about this yet? Anyone injured?

[proffitthog]

they are saying the building is a total loss and one firefighter is injured not sure how serious.

I had stated in another thread that KATV reports that a firefighter is injured.

[RazorHawg16]

dang....how did this happen?

[doo-ran]

they are saying the building is a total loss and one firefighter is injured not sure how serious.

When they showed the live footage. The east portion of it was on fire. A couple of ladder trucks were spraying water on the rest trying to contain it. The school is in the shape of a "T" with equal lengths to each wing. Smoke was coming out of the North and West wings.

they say it started in a library closet

Dante's Inferno perhaps?

My son and I were just there around noon to pick up his schedule. The cafeteria was full of people doing the same. Thank God evryone made it out O.K.

[proffitthog]

My guess is that arson would be the cause. It's a shame jr high north was a pretty new school

[razorbrock]

HOLY COW!  I was there today at 12pm with my daughter picking up a schedule.  I hope no one was hurt.

[doo-ran]

(Bump) KATV will be on in 5 minutes._

Some little moron is probably not ready for school yet and has an affection for matches. 

[proffitthog]

Well they can throw them schedules away. A teacher was saying there was a bomb threat earlier but who No's. I just don't think a fire starts in a library closet by itself

[RAZ FAN]

Sorry to hear about this. Hope no one else is hurt, and the fireman is OK. Keep us updated.

Maybe its all part of Al Qaeda's plot.  HiM might need to institute his anal probing security plan with the faculty and parents.

The firefighter very well could have been suffering from heat exahaustion. With the temps the way they are it is always a concern this time of year. You got to think about it, it is already 100+ degrees when the firefighters get the call then they put on their turn outs and a airpack, it is very easy to get to hot. I am not saying that is what happened to the firefighter but very possible.

Hate to say this but with my experience in the fire service and from what they just showed on KARK, I would say they aren't gonna contain this one. It will pretty much destroy the entire building, what doesn't burn, if any doesn't burn, will have so much smoke and water damage that it will not be any good. The fire crews will still be on scene when the 10:00 news come on and possibly still be there when the morning news comes on. The way they are spraying water through the roof I would say there is no interior attack taking place and it is a lot hard to stop the fire from advancing from the outside.

  I live in Cabot! luckally it's not near me though, hope everyone's alright.

As an administrator in Cabot, it started in the computer closet and went fom circuit to circuit.  Gym and fine and cafeteria is probably gone. 

[Oklahawg]

Thanks for the inside info. Sorry to have this hit...especially with classes right around the corner. Glad no students/teachers/admins were injured.

[noprayerfornutt]

Hopefully, there was not anyone hurt. 

[Wolfpride]

No one was hurt.  Two firefighters had heat related injuries.  Not sure what we will do.  Our good supt. will assess tomorrow and see what happens.  We JUST built the high school and used portables for classes......we may get those back.  We just don't know....prayers please.

My best friend is a Cabot cop and he said that the computer room was the only room to survive. Yet he wasnt there so he is only going by what he was told.
