About 2:30 pm Montgomery Fire Department responded to a fire alarm at the Montgomery High School. While en route the call was upgraded to an actual fire in the locker room. They arrived with heavy smoke conditions and a fire in a dryer.
Since school had already been dismissed for the day only a few remaining students and faculty had to be evacuated.
Damage is not extensive and still being evaluated.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
Scott Engle and Jamie Nash are Montgomery County residents and veteran law enforcement / breaking news reporters, who met covering a law enforcement story and have covered multiple counties, with Scott as a television videographer for multiple local stations and national networks, and Jamie as newspaper / magazine / online reporter.
