School Bus Fire Investigation and Rumors

 Nanih Waiya and Noxapater Fire Department's responded to reports of a burning school bus around 7:30 P.M. on Sunday, October 17, 2021.  The fire was investigated by Winston County Fire Investigator, Keith Alexander, as well as the State Fire Marshal.

 After a thorough investigation, the State Fire Marshal ruled that the cause of the fire was an electrical problem under the hood of the school bus. No foul play is indicated.

Rumors have floated around social media all day today relating to possible incidents at Nanih Waiya school. The school district and the sheriff's department have determined there is no credible evidence of a threat to the school.

Unsourced social media post are not reliable and parents who have questions should contact the school.

Again, there is no credible threat to Nanih Waiya school.
