First photos of Ecole catholique St. Jean Fire.

Fire broke out around six oclock this morning at Ecole catholique St. Jean in the north end of Timmins.

Heavy smoke billowed hundreds of metres into the sky as firefighters from Timmins, Schumacher and Mountjoy fought the blaze. Most of the smoke and flame was seen in the southeastern area of the school building, which housed the gym and library.
