Fire at former Roman school in Elliot Lake

By Rosalind Russell – Elliot Lake firefighters are still fighting a fire at a local school that broke out overnight.

Few details are available at this time but it is believed the fire started around midnight at the former Roman Avenue school.

The school had been closed in 2016 and a private developer had been looking into turning it into apartments.

The fire crew is still on the scene with a full contingent of trucks including the aerial ladder.

The fire department says it will have more information later in the day and asks the public to stay away from the scene.
