TUSCAN SCHOOL BRUSH FIRE

From Tuscan School Principal Malikah Majeed last night

May 21, 2014

Yesterday afternoon, a staff member noticed and reported a small fire in the mulch along the fence of the front lawn. 

Office staff called 911 for assistance. Maplewood Police and Fire officials immediately responded to extinguish the fire. Maplewood Fire officials advised administration to keep children and staff inside while the fire was extinguished.
Maplewood Fire officials determined the source of the fire as a mulch fire or discarded cigarette.

At no time were we in any danger. However the fire charred the fence and burned a small portion of a bush.

We are grateful for the swift attention that we received from both Maplewood Police and Fire Departments.

Thank you for your concern.

Ms. Majeed
Tuscan School Principal
