At 9:10 a.m. this morning
during construction on campus a gas line was struck. As soon
as it was discovered the line was turned off. Students and
all personnel were evacuated to the lower parking lot as
instructed by the Fire Marshall as the safest evacuation
location. There was major response from the fire department
and miss utility, who assessed the situation. The campus was
temporarily closed to traffic and police directed traffic at
the school entrance. No one on campus was in danger at any
time. At approximately 10:40 a.m. the all-clear was given
and all were allowed back into the building. Although the
schedule has been adjusted for the remainder of the school
day all is otherwise back to normal. Once back in classes
students and personnel paused for a prayer of gratitude led
by President Sister Katherine Kase, C.S.C. The quick action
taken by Montgomery County personnel, AHC administration and
students contributed to a calm atmosphere during the
situation. |
