Cedar Park Fire Department: No fire at middle school
Cedar Park Middle School students are being let back into the building after being evacuated when a heat pump malfunctioned earlier this afternoon, causing smoke to set off an alarm, officials said.
Crews were called to the school at 12:49 p.m., but were on the scene for less than 30 minutes, Cedar Park Fire Department Assistant Chief James Mallinger said. Fire crews worked with Leander School District employees to determine there was no fire in the building, which was filled with haze after the heat pump malfunctioned, Mallinger said.
Mallinger said all fire units have cleared the scene.
