LA GRANGE – Fire crews responded to a fire at E.B. Frink Middle School Friday night. Officials have not released details on the extent of any damage or the cause of the fire.
This is a developing story.
The fire comes as Lenoir County Public Schools (LCPS) moves forward with the construction of a new E.B. Frink Middle School, a $57 million project expected to open in August 2026. This incident follows previous fires at the school in December 2024, when a former student was arrested and charged in connection with multiple incidents of arson.
More information will be provided as it becomes available.
