Humboldt Elementary was evacuated as a precaution Thursday morning but ended up being a false alarm.

Around 10:15 crews from the St. Joseph Fire Department responded due to fire alarms going off in the building.

Around 300 kids were evacuated as a precautionary measure to St. Mary’s Church Gym while crews inspected the building.

Joey Austin, Dir. of Communications with the district said the fire department found no source or reason for the alarm.

“All students and staff are accounted for and are fine,” Austin said.
