More On The Fire At Marine Park Junior High School

We just received the following note from Reeves Eisen, Councilman Lew Filder’s chief of staff:

I just spoke to Principal Debbie Garofalo, who said that it was a small, construction material related fire on roof. Fire didn’t come into building, but FDNY broke open ceilings on the top (3rd floor) to check, and that was the only interior damage That’s all been cleaned up. Air quality testing will be done tonight, and results should be available around 10. They are hoping to reopen tomorrow, assuming the results are good. Parents are being told to call 311 after 11 tonight. If the building isn’t clear to open for morning classes, the contingency plan is for grade 6 to report to PS 207 and grades 7 and 8 to PS 222.
