A faulty fan is suspected to have caused a fire that left more than $100,000 in damage at Sarah’s Preparatory School in La Romaine on Thursday night.

Residents of Sunset Ridge spotted the blaze around 9 pm, contacted the fire service and used hoses in an effort to contain the fire, which began in the playroom on the ground floor of the building.
