Madison. 

An overheating exhaust fan in the ceiling of the bathroom was found to be the source of the smoke.  All students and staff had safely evacuated the building and were at their pre-arranged meeting site across the street from the facility. 

The faulty fan was removed and the smoke blown from the building by fire personnel.  The Madison Police Department and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office assisted at the scene.

Multiple Fires In Madison County On Sunday

Sunday afternoon, January 16, 2011 was a busy time for firefighters in Madison County.

At 4 p.m., a structure fire was reported on Flowers Road, just south of Lovett Road.  The Hamburg-Lovett Volunteer Fire Department responded with

mutual aid from Madison and Greenville fire departments.

The Florida Highway Patrol, Madison County EMS and the Florida Division of Forestry also were at the scene.

A vacant structure called the “Drink Box Building” was destroyed. Because no electrical power was connected to the building the state fire marshal was requested to determine the origin of the blaze.

Within 30 minutes of that call, a brush fire on U.S. Highway 90, west of the City of Madison was reported and a third call caused a response from the Cherry Lake Volunteer Fire Department to a brush fire on State Road 53, south of Garden Street.

No injuries were reported at any of the fires.
