Le Mars Fire Department Responds To False Alarms At School
(Le Mars) — Over a twelve hour time span, the Le Mars Fire and Rescue Department was called to the Le Mars Community High School three separate times for what turned out to be a faulty alarm system that kept sounding. Fortunately, no fire was reported at any time. Fire officials first responded to the alarm on Friday afternoon at about 4:30 p.m. Le Mars High School girls’ volleyball team was told to evacuate the building while fire officials investigated. The volleyball team sought refuge in the school’s bus barn while officials investigated. The second alarm came in this morning at about 4:45 a.m. Within a half hour, the alarm once again was activated at the Le Mars Community High School sending fire officials to again investigate.
