Ceiling Tile Fire Blamed For Building Burn Damage
A fire in a state standard built school caused flames to spread largely through a one and a half inch celotex acoustic tile ceiling. The fire moved along an air passage above the tiles in the Senior High wing. Investigators doubt structural weakening though ceilings were severely damaged. Fire risk concerns stem from tile design approved by the architectural firm Hunter Caldwell Campbell. A prior incident involved a flicked auditorium light triggering flames. Officials consider whether celotex tiles influence future regulations.
