Teen’s body spray sets off school fire alarm

Updated:

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 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."
