Strange odour temporarily forces students/staff from Debert Elementary School

Souce of smell detected and classes have resumed

DEBERT – Students and staff at Debert Elementary School were moved to the nearby legion hall Friday morning after a strange smell was detected in the building.

Local fire fighters and members of the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board’s operations staff were called out after a “hot” mechanical/oil smell was detected at the school, board spokeswoman Debbie Buott-Matheson said.

“It was actually a small motor on the heating system that jammed and overheated,” she said.

Once the source was detected and the smell was cleared from the building, the nine staff and 146 students were returned to the school and classes have resumed.
