That is how Clinton Junior High School Principal Drew Goebel described a late Monday night fire in the kitchen of his school building. He indicates a basket of rags caught fire and were extinguished by the sprinkler system in the building, but acknowledges, they were very fortunate it was not worse.

 

 

A number of people were instrumental in getting the kitchen returned a normal state with no remnants of the smoke or fire. Goebel says the Fire Department and the Health Department went above and beyond to help them out.

 

 

Goebel says the remnants of the smoke was completely gone when he came into the school Tuesday morning as school resumed normally Tuesday. 

 

The teamwork displayed throughout the course of the situation and then in the cleanup made him proud of the community.
