PORT COQUITLAM (NEWS 1130) — Scary moments for students and staff at Terry Fox Secondary school Thursday morning after a fire broke out inside a classroom.
There are no reports of any injuries and it’s not known if anyone was inside the classroom when the fire started.
“At this time it appears it was an electrical fire and that classroom was evacuated and fire department was called. Classes in that wing have been cancelled for the remainder of the day while restoration is underway,” Ken Hoff with the Coquitlam School Board said.

“It doesn’t look at this time that anything was set or tampered with,” he said regarding any possible cause.
School administration will update Terry Fox staff, students, and parents on what will happen for classes on Friday. The class cancellations come just days after the fall semester began, and many students only started full day instruction on Wednesday.
