3/19/14 - A small fire forced the evacuation of a building within the Brighton Area Schools district. The small fire was reported at the Brighton Education Community Center building on Church Street. Superintendent Greg Gray tells WHMI it happened shortly after 1pm in the maintenance portion of the building. The fire was quickly contained and originated in a dryer. The Bridge Alternative High School is housed within the building along with some administrative offices. Gray says all fire doors and drill processes worked well and staff and students safely evacuated the building. Students were sent home since it was so close to the end of the day already. Gray says there was some smoke damage in that area of the building but they have restoration crews on site and will be open for school tomorrow. (JM)
