Killeen: School will be aired out after fire in teacher’s lounge

Workers aired out Reeces Creek Elementary School at 400 West Stan Schlueter Loop in Killeen after a small fire broke out late Thursday afternoon in the teacher’s lounge.

Classes were held as scheduled Friday.

“Thankfully, the fire did not damage the campus, and the fire department gave us the all-clear to return inside the building,” the district said in a letter to parents.

“Overnight we will air out the building and bring in a machine to circulate and clean the air. We will also replace the air filters in the building.”

Precautionary testing detected no air quality problems.
