A fire at Rosetown Central High School Monday evening has led to the cancellation of classes on Tuesday, the Sun West School Division said.
According to the division, a small fire broke out in a second‑floor classroom at approximately 5 p.m. Students and staff in the building at the time evacuated safely after the fire alarm was triggered, following standard school fire protocols.
“The school’s sprinkler system activated and contained the fire to the classroom where it started,” said Mike Fedyk, coordinator of communications and marketing for Sun West School Division. While fire damage was limited, adjacent areas experienced smoke damage, and water damage occurred in spaces beside and below the affected room.
Due to the damage, the school will remain closed on Tuesday to allow for cleanup and assessment. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and school officials said updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
“All students and staff are safe, and we are grateful for the quick response of our emergency personnel,” Principal Craig Vanthyune said in the release sent to parents.
Parents with questions were advised to contact the Sun West School Division office.
