LATHAM FOREST, Carova--Voters were delayed at the polls in one Carova polling station after the building caught fire Tuesday afternoon.
No one was injured and the building was only moderately damaged.
It happened at Camden Creek Elementary School, just west of Latham Forest in southeastern Carova.
Officials say around 1:00 pm Eastern Time, flames broke out in the kitchen of the school.
There were around 350 children inside the school at the time of the fire. A spokesman for the local fire marshal says the children were evacuated from the building, as were all staff, elections workers, and voters waiting to cast their ballots.
Because of the fire, elections workers set up a table outside the school, and voters in the affected precinct were allowed to cast ballots at other polling stations.
The school will remained closed for the remainder of the week, a spokeswoman for the school district told the NPF.
