Firefighters arrived on scene to find heavy smoke billowing from the one-story wing of the school and fire inside one of the class rooms. The fire was immediately upgraded to a second alarm.

At one point after a good interior attack, the EVAC tones were sounded for the interior firefighters to evacuate the building.

A third alarm was struck for more manpower. It took an hour to bring the blaze under control. The building is owned by the Quakertown Christian School.
