Teen’s body spray sets of fire alarm

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) — Officials say a fire alarm that went off at a Connecticut high school was activated by a student’s “overabundance” of body spray in a locker room. Firefighters were called to Middletown High School shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday. Officials told The Middletown Press (http://bit.ly/Kej9rY ) that the student used an excessive amount of the scented spray and created a cloud of mist right below a heat sensor, which tripped the fire alarm. Firefighters allowed students and teachers to return to the building shortly after arriving. Officials deemed the call a “routine accidental.”
