At 1:20 PM, Lyndonville Fire Department was dispatched to a general fire alarm activation at Lyndon Town School, located at 2591 Lily Pond Road. The call was classified as a first alarm. Multiple fire units responded.
At 1:26 PM, Engine 92 arrived on scene and reported a three-story brick educational institution with nothing showing from three sides. Staff had evacuated the building. Initial reports from staff on scene indicated that workers in the building may have caused the alarm, possibly due to dust. By 1:28 PM, crews were advising workers and personnel that the activation was believed to be caused by dust. At 1:40 PM, crews reported that the scene was cleared by fire personnel. The alarm was determined to be caused by dust from workers, and the building was declared safe.
