KAMLOOPS — Classes are cancelled at Dallas Elementary School today after an overnight sprinkler issue caused several classrooms to get soaked.

The closure was ordered by Kamloops Fire Rescue.

Rob Schoen, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary told CFJC Today, “There was no fire, so there was definitely a malfunction with either the sprinkler system or with the alarm system. Subsequently, Kamloops Fire Rescue issued an order to us that the school is to be shut down until we get that rectified.”

The Kamloops-Thompson School District’s maintenance department is on site, and Schoen hopes the problem can be fixed by tomorrow.
