Firefighters were battling a blaze early Saturday on the campus of the
West
Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind in Romney.

The fire in the administration building of the Main Street school posed
no threat to students, according to reports. The building also houses the
superintendent's residence and school archives.

There were no injuries.

The fire was reported about 6:10 a.m. and engulfed the building shortly
thereafter. A porch and wall of the building collapsed later, according to
reports.

"When we got here, we had fire blowing out of every door and window,"
said Romney Fire Company Chief G.T. Parsons.

Dozens of firefighters from Hampshire, Mineral and Hardy counties battled
the blaze, using aerial ladder trucks from Fort Ashby and New Creek to
pour
water on the building.

"I worked here for 10 years, my mom and grandmother were house parents
for 30 years - a lot of heritage here," said Cheri Beverage, former
director of Hampshire County Emergency Services, who lives a block away
from campus.

"It went up quick. An ambulance crew just came by here five minutes
before the call and didn't see anything," Beverage said. "I could see
flames from my kitchen window.

U.S. Route 50 through Romney was closed in both directions.
