Fluorescent lighting failure caused elementary school fire in Milford

The Oct. 25 fire at Lulu M. Ross Elementary School in Milford was caused by the failure of fluorescent lighting inside a display case, the state fire marshal's office announced Nov. 12. The fire has been ruled accidental, Assistant State Fire Marshal Scott Bullock said. The fire happened on a Saturday, with the alarm going off around 4:15 a.m. It occurred in the school's Kent wing, damaging the lobby, library, front office and classrooms in the Kent and New Castle hallways, district officials said. The blaze took firefighters about three hours to get under control, according to district officials. No one was injured. Ross serves about 614 students in grades 2 through 4, according to the latest state data , and employs about 44, according to the school website. The school was built in 1957. Ross students were out of school for a week after the fire while the district determined they would move them to Milford Middle School. Sixth graders at the middle school were relocated to Milford Central Academy as a result. The fire also forced students at the neighboring Mispillion Elementary School out of school for a day due to shared phone and internet lines. Milford news:
