It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion and a small fire was also reported near the substation, which is on the west side of the high school parking lot opposite the building.
As the Fire Department and a few police officers were on scene, school dismissal and pickup continued as normal just after 2 p.m. A small portion of the parking lot, at the southwest corner, was blocked off but the incident did not otherwise disrupt activities.
