PARKVILLE, MD — No students or staff were hurt when an asphalt truck caught fire Tuesday outside Parkville High, school officials said.
The incident canceled Tuesday classes and after-school activities. The school’s Magnet Showcase, planned for Tuesday evening, was also canceled.
“This event occurred prior to most students arriving at the school, so there was no early dismissal or anything like that,” Baltimore County Public Schools spokesperson Charles Herndon told Patch in a Tuesday afternoon email. “Buses on route were turned around and transported students home.”
