Finals Day Cancelled at South Fork Due to Malfunction in the Fire Alarm

South Fork High School closed early after what the school is characterizing as a malfunction of the fire alarm. “All after school activities and games are cancelled today,” said a spokesperson over the phone.

Finals were being given today, according to a student.

Buses full of students left the school at 11:30 a.m. School is expected to resume normally on Tuesday after this three day holiday weekend.

According to a report from a student, the fire alarm was pulled in reaction to a planned burn pile. The fire alarm then continued to ring even though the fire was not a danger. According to what we understand at this time, though this hasn’t been confirmed officially, an official fire inspection needs to be done before the alarm can be turned off.

Students were then sent home.

Note: To our embarrassment, the first version had Firearm not Fire Alarm in the title. Our apologies to any who were frightened by this.

Hey buddy, don’t worry. We all goof up once in awhile. I was just 15, and so I could not go into a store and buy George Carlin’s new album “the seven words you cannot say on TV,”. So I paid a an older kid to buy it for me. I had to sneak it home. When I got home, to my delight, my mom, a strict Roman Catholic, had left a note telling me she would be home at 5pm, it was then 330. On goes the record, and I had it turned up. I was laying on the floor laughing my guts out, tears of joy, and in comes my mom. The athlete in her manifested itself, and as she was saying something like “no son of a bitch is going to come in this house, she went to the HiFi, there were no stereos then, and took the album and smashed it on the floor, then grabbing a broom, started coming after me. Of course, the idiot in me manifested itself by me continuing to laugh as I was headed for the door. In 1967, CPS was an unlatched screen door. She got her licks in, as the screen door was latched, I made it out, and later on, I still got dinner. Whew. And Kym, do you remember what the name of the captain of the Titanic was? Even though it was a major fuck up, we forget.

I don’t suppose you can name the seven words you cannot say on TV, or the radio.

I went to South Fork in the 60’s, and also owned guns and still do. I think you mean no guns at school. I agree with that 100%. We truly need a gun program in schools that teaches the kids safe gun handling rules. Without this program kids will and do find themselves involved in accidents. No different than the driver training class I had to attend at South Fork. Gained respect for vehicles and how to properly use them.

All four of the Cubs basketball teams had home games which are cancelled as a result of the alarm malfunction.

Perhaps the fire alarm was pulled by a student because he or she wanted to get out of the finals. In any case, a non-functioning alarm system is a huge safety issue. What if there actually was a fire? Are the alarms ever tested? There used to be regular fire drills. Good that they sent the kids home, thankfully no real fire.

Fire alarm was pulled by a teacher because the planned burn pile lit up the old sheep barn and burned it to ground, ended with 2 burn piles
