Just after dropping the poster winners off at Middlesex School and still congregated outside, crews were alerted to a report of smoke in the kitchen area of the school by a staff member. Chief 33 reported the incident to CC911 and held the incident to Company 33 units at the scene. While members investigated, staff moved the kids to their evacuation point and began roll check. The incident was isolated to the dishwashing machine. The building was re-occupied within 30 minutes.
