Extended Summary
Everyone rushes out of the classrooms and Fisher yells to everyone not to panic, but they still race out to the school yard. He asks Roxy has she counted them and she answers that she hasn’t yet. He tells her to count the juniors and he’ll do the seniors. The fire engine arrives and Fisher introduces himself as the principal. He is asked has he seen the smoke and he admits he hasn’t and suggests it may be coming from the basement. The firemen search for the fire. After looking around, they tell each other that there is no fire and that it is a hoax.
The fire officer tells Fisher that one of his students must have pulled a prank and that their time and taxpayers’ money has been wasted. He also tells him that he should also inform his students that while they are at a hoax, they could have been at a real fire somewhere else. Fisher tells him that the person responsible will be dealt with severely.
