A blown transformer and continuing power outage forced students and staff from Magnolia Elementary School in Joppatowne to be relocated to Magnolia Middle School.
The Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company responded to a call at the school on 901 Trimble Road in Joppa around 9 a.m.
“We are waiting for MyBGE to de-energize the power so we can extinguish the fire,” fire officials reported around 9:30 a.m.
No one was injured, according to authorities. Repairs were expected to be completed and power restored by 4 p.m., according to Stephanie Weaver, Baltimore Gas and Electric spokesperson.
HCPS asked parents and guardians to pick up their Magnolia Elementary students from Magnolia Middle School immediately.
Regular bus transportation was provided at the normal dismissal time for students that were unable to be picked up and those students were dismissed from Magnolia Middle School at the end of the day, according to a HCPS spokesperson.
