A kind reader alerted me to an incident at Sparrows Point High School today, and I wanted to provide some additional information, for those who might be wondering what happened out there.

The Baltimore County Fire Department tells me the school was evacuated this afternoon, as a precautionary measure, because of an electrical problem with an air-conditioning unit on the roof.  There was no actual fire. 

Activities were canceled for this evening, as BGE workers are there fixing their equipment.

A BGE spokeswoman said the workers should be finished by 5 p.m.
