After a small fire kept students home on Monday, St. Joseph Catholic School in Corunna is open Tuesday for in-person learning.
In an email to parents and staff, Principal Colleen Cogghe said Pinchin Ltd. conducted Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing throughout the school and confirmed that the building is safe for students and staff.
All fire-damaged materials have been removed, corridor walls and ceilings have been wiped down and water from the sprinkler system has been mopped up.
Cogghe said in addition to the clean up, all HVAC systems were placed in the full exhaust position through the evening, air filters were replaced and HVAC coils were cleaned.
St. Clair Township Fire Chief Richard Boyes said the cause of the fire is believed to be an overheated fan in the custodial room, activating the sprinkler system.
No injuries were reported in the fire.
