Fire damage closes BOCES school

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- BOCES classes are expected to resume in the F. Donald Myers Education Center on Wednesday after a weekend fire caused officials to close the school to students.

Combustion in rags used in the center's HVAC laboratory caused a fire between 2 and 3 a.m. Saturday, Assistant Superintendent Janie Cornell said.

The Saratoga Springs Fire Department confined the fire to the lab area before extinguishing it. There were no injuries.

The fire damaged the lab, while heavy smoke and heat affected a wing of the school, Cornell said.

Some 850-900 students at the Henning Road school missed class today and will not return until at least Wednesday, she said.

Restoration work in the school started over the weekend.
