WESTMINSTER, Md. — A Carroll County elementary school had to be evacuated on Wednesday after a small fire broke out in the faculty lounge.

Carroll County Public Schools confirmed with WMAR-2 News the fire ignited at Sandymount Elementary School. They say because of the fumes, school officials were told not to reopen and to move the students to a nearby school in the meantime.

All faculty and students were moved to Shiloh Middle School.
