Dear Cle Elum-Roslyn School Community, at approximately 7:20 AM, the fire alarms at the High School and music room were activated. The fire department responded within minutes. It was quickly determined that the cause of the activation was as a result of increased water pressure, causing the dry sprinkler system to trip in the music room. Custodial staff were eventually able to drain off excess water pressure and reset the system. This process took approximately 25 minutes and the fire alarms did deactivate at approximately 7:45 AM. Most students had not arrived at school at this time. At no point were any students or staff placed at any risk. We wish to thank our fire department partners for their prompt response. - Cle Elum-Roslyn School District
