The Morrison School is already being demolished after it was gutted by flames Thursday morning.
People in the Catherine Street area have been evacuated from their homes as a precaution, in case the fire spreads. So far, no homes have been damaged.
John White, the MLA for Glace Bay-Dominion, says the local volunteer fire department has responded to 'multiple structure fires' early Thursday morning.
'Please be mindful of emergency scenes and do your part by staying clear so our first responders can do their job safely and efficiently,' said White in a Facebook post.
'As a former firefighter, I know firsthand the risks they take and the weight they carry. Please keep them in your thoughts today.'
