A private school in DC was evacuated after a fire broke out. DC Fire and EMS was called out to Lowell School on Monday just before 4:30 p.m. According to their social media, the fire broke out in the auditorium. The sprinkler system managed to control the fire until crews arrived at the school. Investigators determined that the cause of the fire was accidental. A stage curtain came in contact with hot lights. Units extinguished the remaining fire, reset the sprinkler system, and ventilated the auditorium. It originally came in that no injuries were reported. But, an hour later, DC FEMS tweeted that one firefighter was taken to an area hospital for evaluation. It is unknown what for at this time.
