The Sherman School was evacuated Friday due to a smoking fan motor.  The Sherman Volunteer Fire Department responded to an activated fire alarm at the school around 8am and found light smoke conditions inside.  Firefighters located the source of the smoke, an overheated exhaust fan motor on the roof.  Fans were used to dissipate the smoke inside the school and the fire marshal then determined it safe to have students and staff re-entered the building about an hour later.  Gaylordsville Fire Department provided mutual aid.
