Tip: Bloomfield High School just evacuated. UPDATE: We hear, unofficially, that it was just a malfunctioning fire alarm and that nobody is in danger. Will update as we get info.
What happened? I live behind it. Where's the story?

I'll take a wild ass guess that some kid "smelled something" for the umpteenth time this school year. Hopefully nothing more serious.

Uh. That's nice. I agree...where's the story? At least an inkling? My daughter is there. Should I be freaking or is it a drill? More 'fumes'? What,what,what???

I spoke directly to one of Bloomfield's Bravest (Fire Dept). This was an "alarm malfunction" and the cause of the malfunction will be investigated. I personally have the utmost confidence in the BFD and as long as they are involved, I know my kids will be taken care of.
Hey, montclairiscrazy, thanks for automatically assuming some kid at BHS made up the problem.... maybe you can get a job in Bloomfield administration?

Thanks, deletme. Didnt' hear too much of a commotion around town, so I wasn't too worried. But nice to hear more of what's going on.

Barista should open up a chat line for each town. Would put NJ.com chat out of business (like Localsource) overnight. They censor arbitrarily to say the least. It isn't for bad words, I can't figure what it's for, but it can be galling.

Friday 11/4 talent show at Glen Ridge, Ridgewood Ave School also had false fire alarms, evacuating the audience and causing the show to start late.
