    Fire at Wilmington Friends School

    It's at the upper school and has gone to third alarm with a partial roof collapse. They have evacuated and are doing an external fight with three master streams in play with a trench cut to try to stop fire spread. Kids are all fine. My niece went there so I have special interest.

    Holy crap! That's scary! Especially during school hours. Glad all the kids are ok. Wonder how they will finish the school year if the fire was that extensive. Please keep us updated Crabby.
    You can only make a mistake once. After that it's a choice.

    All right smarty! Ha! True, but that's not really what the question wanted to know now was it?.At first look they thought it started near the auditorium stage so maybe electrical? That's just a blind guess and could be totally wrong. I haven't heard anything official yet. The FMs are investigating
