The fire was contained to the machine, but the ceiling tiles above it did suffer some smoke damage. They’ll have to be replaced.

Classes were cancelled at Campus Regina School (formerly Cochrane High School) to give school staff time to ventilate the building, which filled with smoke as a result of the fire.

Ryba said crews should have the building safe for students to return tomorrow.
