Derby High School was evacuated Wednesday morning after a portable heat source caught fire during a teacher appreciation breakfast.
The superintendent’s office said it happened around 8:30 a.m. and a staff member quickly put it out, but the school is required by law to evacuate in the event of any fire.
The fire department responded and gave the all clear to return to the school building.
No one was injured, and students were able to return to class, according to the superintendent’s office.
