Ithaca Minute – GIAC water main break, Dryden middle school fire
Here’s the Ithaca Minute for November 7th!
The Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC) building in Downtown Ithaca closed for the day late Monday morning due to a water main break.
GIAC deputy director Kerry Phillips says after school and evening programs were canceled for the remainder of the day. An attempt to send a text message to parents and caregivers wasn’t successful.
The Dryden Middle School building was evacuated first thing Monday morning after a fire was discovered in a wastebasket, according to interim superintendent of schools William Locke. The fire occurred at about 7:50am.
According to Chief Mike Hall of the Dryden Fire Department, firefighters responded to a fire alarm activation and discovered that a “small fire had occurred in a bathroom” and had been “quickly extinguished by school staff.”
Chief Hall added that crews assisted in ventilation of the building, and classes resumed.
And don’t forget the Ithaca Rotary Club election day pancake breakfast is from 7am to 7pm Tuesday at Coltivare!
Polls are open in Ithaca from 6am-9pm. Where’s your polling place and what’s on your ballot? Check 14850.com.
