Operation in St. Pölten
Chocolate experiment went wrong: school evacuated
Thick smoke in the physics hall caused a fire department operation at a secondary school in St. Pölten on Friday morning. Firefighters and police arrived, nobody was injured.
Thick clouds of smoke caused an involuntary interruption to lessons at the BORG grammar school in St. Pölten on Friday morning - including the evacuation of all pupils. The fire alarm was triggered in a workroom during a lesson. As the sirens blared, around 1000 young people were immediately evacuated to safety. The alerted city fire department and the police also arrived. The school building was evacuated immediately.
The cause of the fire alarm was quickly found: An experiment had got out of hand in the physics room. According to information from "Krone", a sweet temptation - chocolate to be precise - was involved. Overheating led to the massive formation of smoke, but fortunately there was no fire.
"Yes, there was a fire alarm and the school building was evacuated. It was a kind of exercise under real-time conditions," confirms the state police directorate, explaining that the incident turned out to be harmless. Nobody was injured. Lessons were able to resume after around half an hour.
