Two Pasco County schools, River Ridge Middle and High, will delay their first bell by three hours on Wednesday due to a fire in the Starkey area. The adjusted schedule begins at 10:10 a.m., with the same 1:30 p.m. end time, to prioritize student and staff safety. Emergency crews are using helicopters to combat the fire, which may cause significant smoke in the River Ridge area.
