***  WATCH ***  FIRE DISCOVERED INSIDE BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL…

HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS – [HN VIDEO NOTES] – As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, at around 3:30 a.m. this morning, Hyannis Firefighters were investigating an automatic fire alarm at Barnstable High School when they discovered a fire in one of the rooms. Firefighters were able to quickly put out the fire with an extinguisher. Fans were then deployed to deal with a moderate to heavy smoke condition. The fire appears to have started inside a ceiling fan which fell and ignited the carpet. The Hyannis FD is investigating the cause of the fire, which does not appear to be suspicious in nature at the time of this report.
