Smoke at Haddam Elementary School Result of Faulty Equipment

Post from Haddam Volunteer Fire Company:

Haddam Volunteer Fire Company responded to a fire alarm at Haddam Elementary School shortly before 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

Upon arrival, firefighters discovered smoke coming from the school’s basement. Firefighters used thermal imaging cameras and soon discovered the smoke was a result of a faulty belt in a climate control compressor.

The school’s mechanic was notified to replace the belt. Firefighters placed large ventilation fans in the building to help remove smoke and odor from the school.
