An incident that started in the shared kitchen area of Langston Chapel Middle and Elementary Schools forced an evacuation of the schools Wednesday morning that lasted a little more than half an hour. Hayley Greene, the public relations and marketing specialist for Bulloch County Schools, said a piece of equipment in the kitchen emitted steam after a loud popping sound, and the fire alarm was pulled about 8:40 a.m. Only staff was in the kitchen at the time and no one was injured in the incident, she said. "All students exited both schools just like a fire drill in an orderly manner, following the directions of their teachers and staff to their assigned areas outside the school," Greene said.
