Forest Road School in Valley Stream closed for fire
A Valley Stream elementary school will continue remote learning Friday, after the building was closed for a "small fire," school officials said.
No one was injured in the fire, which occurred Wednesday evening at Forest Road School, and the blaze was swiftly extinguished. The closure was necessary for "clean up and assessment," school Principal Erin Malone said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for the school district said the fire broke out in a custodial closet designated for a solar transformer.
Students moved to remote learning Thursday. The spokeswoman later said there would be remote instruction Friday as well.
