I'm surprised the fire alarm is still going off at 1:00 after all that intense heat and flames. I thought it would be melted by now to a point where it no longer worked.
OMG! I go to Glacier View by Emerald Ridge I have been theyre for many sporting events but I never knew about this! When was this school origonly built?
uhmhaha im sorry for laughing but thats my sisters birthday,she turned 6 im 13 right now and i have not seen ballou before this year,it looks just fine but i feel so sorry for the staff member,maybe mrs beyer will remember it,ill ask her tomorrow
uh I can't believe it! I never knew this happened. I was in Arizona in 2000. I had 3 of the best years of my life at Ballou. 1991, 92, and 93. This is like a kick in the gut.
@KillerWalrus2845 That was uncalled for. That building at the Jr. High I used to go to was very sad and it was a pain watching this (at the time I attended there it was after this accident) and your saying that this should happen at rogers?!?! Why?! Because you want to see people get hurt? You like pain? You love to see schools burn down to the ground? You love to see a school that you don't like burn? I'm at rogers now so GO TO HELL!!!
dude its just a building, nobody got hurt in this fire, i never said i want to see ppl get hurt, i agree it wasn't a nice thing to say( i removed it just for you), but rogers is due for a nice remodel and i wasnt serious. go cry over old hotels being demolished or something
Whoa I currently go to ballou now its like 2009 now lol and i'm a 7th grader so I just started and I can't believe that this happened when I was 3 o.o
I went to Ballou Jr. High 5 years ago. I still can't believe that the School district Banned Halloween that is SOOO Stupid.... Oh well thank goodness i'm not in school anymore.
Wow! I went to Ferrucci about 13 years ago and all I remember about Ballou is all the kids that went there were wannabe gangbangers! So this doesn't surprise me.
I was the officer on the first engine that arrived on scene. When we arrived, the building was already about 1/3 involved and blowing through the roof. We tried to use master streams on the ground to keep the fire from moving, but there was so much fire that didn't do much good. The building was under renovation so it was pretty open inside. I believe the kid actually started the fire on the roof if I remember right.
@Krinkel rly?????? i go there i love the teachers but do u only wish that becaues it went on fire????? if thats the case just wow.....................
I went to this school the year that they were rebuilding everything. It sucked because we had to use portables and everything but when it was finally done it was beautiful...I was part of the first group to sit in the new desks.
If you don't mind me asking, what did they do with all of the displaced students and staff? Portable classrooms? Or did they place them in neighboring schools?
YEAH PUYALLUP!!! the shitiest stuff happens in this town yet its the coolest town ever...Im 18 and i have seen flaming bums, shootouts, gangfights, crazy fin car crashes, BEST TOWN EVER!! too fun good vid
How could you GO to the school when this fire happened and never know what hapened? You didn't notice when you went to school the next day that half the building was GONE?!!!?!?
It's my last year at Ballou and I just can't imagine it like that. That's around where two of my favorite teachers from last year are right now. It's just hard for me to imagine that part of the building on fire and so ruined.
gees, i'm sry that happened. at least no one was physically hurt (as i can tell from your description). it must have been wierd taping it tho, because it means so much to you. :(
It was weird. At first it was a major story that I had an exclusive to, and it would be airing on the networks too. Then about 30 minutes into it, reality slapped me in the face and it was depressing. It's a wierd feeling that's hard to describe.
I went to ballou! Good thing I don't anymore it sux there!
