Fire in Pool Area Evacuates BOLD School Building in Olivia

A fire in the pool area Wednesday morning led to the evacuation of the BOLD School District school in Olivia.   Superintendent Jim Menton says the chlorinator in the pool leaked just before classes started, causing an electrical fire:

“There was a lot of smoke so yeah, we needed to get people  out of the building. No idea what the damage is.”

Menton says they moved the students and staff to Cross of Calvary Church, and classes were cancelled for the day.  No injuries were reported.  The BOLD girls basketball game was moved to Bird Island last night.
