A student was hospitalized Friday due to a hazardous materials incident at an Arlington County high school, authorities say.

ARLINGTON, VA — A student was hospitalized following a hazardous materials incident at an Arlington County high school on Friday morning, according to authorities.

Arlington Fire and EMS responded around 10:30 a.m. to Wakefield High School to investigate the report of students experiencing symptoms related to a shop class, according to a post on the department's official X account.

"The Hazardous Materials Team responded and determined the source to be a faulty exhaust hose connected to a laser cutter," the post said. "Four students were evaluated on scene for non-life-threatening symptoms, and one student was transported to Virginia Hospital Center for further evaluation."

Principal Pete Balas sent the following message to the Wakefield High School community:

Dear Wakefield families,

We want to share information about an incident that occurred today in an engineering classroom. During a lesson that involved using a laser cutting machine, the equipment began to produce smoke. As a safety precaution, the class was immediately relocated, and the fire department was called to assess the situation.

Emergency medical personnel evaluated several students on site out of an abundance of caution. Everyone is safe and no serious injuries were reported. We have spoken to the families of the students who were evaluated by EMS.

The Fire Department quickly cleared the classroom after an inspection. The classroom involved will not be used for the rest of the day while staff complete a review of the equipment and ensure the space is fully ready for instruction.

The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We appreciate the quick response of our students, teachers, and first responders.

Sincerely,

Pete Balas,

At approximately 10:30 am, units were dispatched to Wakefield High School for reports of students experiencing symptoms related to fumes in a shop class. The Hazardous Materials Team responded and determined the source to be a faulty exhaust hose connected to a laser cutter. pic.twitter.com/L8WzcT99PC— Arlington Fire & EMS (@ArlingtonVaFD) January 16, 2026

WASHINGTON — Jason Westcott, an Army veteran, lost six battle buddies to suicide in five years after leaving the military. One veteran was married with six young children. Another was 24 years old when he took his own life.

The men served at different times, but their struggles were tragically the same, said Westcott, who served in the Army National Guard for 22 years.

Each veteran found it hard to adjust to the pressures of civilian life — from finding jobs to supporting families — as they dealt with their own trauma from military combat, Westcott said.

“The battlefield was not just off in some distant land. There was a war at home for friends who couldn’t handle any more, but they did not know how to ask for help,” said Westcott, 52, who had multiple deployments in the Middle East.

The former staff sergeant — who is now a commercial truck driver — is leading a convoy this week carrying tens of thousands of fresh balsam wreaths from a Maine farm bound for Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

Nationwide, a total of 3 million wreaths will be placed at 5,600 locations in ceremonies sponsored by Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit that sponsors an annual event that honors military service with holiday wreaths tied with red ribbons. Sites span schools, town monuments, veterans’ homes and cemeteries.

For Westcott, participating in the mammoth undertaking allows him to pay tribute to fellow service members and recognize the contributions of comrades he lost to suicide at home. “I want to show their sacrifices were not in vain,” he said.

The placement of the wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery starts at 8 a.m. Saturday. It will conclude at noon with a wreath ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, according to Wreaths Across America.

Visitors who want to take part by placing wreaths at gravesites or need more information on the event are encouraged to visit the Wreaths Across America website.

Volunteers in 2024 placed 260,000 wreaths at gravesites and niche columns at Arlington, according to officials.

“Wreaths Across America would not be successful without the help of volunteers, active organizations and the generosity of the trucking industry,” according to the family-run organization.

Westcott, a driver for NFI Industries of New Jersey, is leading a convoy of 14 trucks traveling from Worcester Balsam Farm in Columbia Falls, Maine. The convoy has been making several stops to participate in smaller tributes ahead of the wreath-laying at Arlington. A total of 67 trucks will arrive at Arlington bearing wreaths for fallen troops.

“Even playing a small role in this is humbling,” Westcott said. “Every wreath represents a life given in service and a family’s sacrifice. I’m just doing my part to ensure these heroes are never forgotten.”

Trucks first headed to West Quoddy Head Light, in Lubec, Maine, the easternmost point of the contiguous U.S. They continued to Liberation Monument in New Jersey, the site of a memorial that commemorates the liberation of Nazi-held concentration camps by Allied forces in World War II.

Several Wreaths Across America events are planned Friday in and around the nation’s capital. They include ceremonies at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial and the World War II Memorial.

Westcott said his work as a commercial truck driver is another way for him to contribute to his country, as he moves goods from farms and factories to stores and consumers.

Trucks haul nearly three-quarters of the nation’s freight, enabling the nation’s supply chain to run smoothly. “I am continuing to serve as a civilian but on a different scale,” Westcott said. Twelve percent of the drivers at NFI Industries are veterans.

This is Westcott’s fifth time taking part in Wreaths Across America. But 2025 marks his first visit to Arlington National Cemetery. “This is probably the most valuable load I’ve ever pulled,” he said.

Westcott began work in 1996 as a commercial long-haul trucker four years after he joined the Army National Guard. But military service changed dramatically for him in 2003 with deployments to the Middle East, including Iraq and Kuwait.

“Things got heavy after that,” he said.

Westcott faced his own adjustments after leaving the military.

Westcott said he learned to build a network of friends and family who supported him, received counseling from a former Green Beret, and takes part in events that show public support for veterans.

But he credits his stepfather for helping him get through a “tough spot” when he hit a low point with feelings of hopelessness.

“There’s a stigma around asking for help — that it’s a sign of weakness. But I gave him a call, and we agreed to meet somewhere to talk,” Westcott said. “He did not let me drive away after that. In the grand scheme of things, I’m glad I listened.”
