Crews battle fire at N.J. school. All students, staff safe.
The fire was reported Thursday morning at Parkway Elementary School in Mount Laurel Township.
The fire was reported at 8:34 a.m. and brought under control shortly after 9 a.m. A witness reported that the bulk of the fire damage appeared to be confined to a room off the school gymnasium. “We communicated twice with the parents already,” Walls said. “The students were immediately put in school buses to get them out of the cold and then we decided to transport them with their teachers to our middle school auditorium, which is pretty big and can handle everyone.”
