Waltham Elementary classroom evacuated after smoke rolls in

Classes go on at Waltham North Elementary School after smoke in a classroom.

An automated call from the school came out around 9:30am Friday saying firefighters think smoke in a classroom came from a burned out transformer. Classes are going on as scheduled at the school with the only change being students in Mrs. Mitchell’s room going to a different room.

Also this morning, field fires were reported near Waltham Presbyterian Church and near the Bureau-Lee County line.
