COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Council Bluffs authorities are investigating a fire that led to the evacuation of an area high school.
The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports no injuries were reported after the fire at Abraham Lincoln High School on Tuesday. Council Bluffs Fire Marshal Larry Wohlers says someone intentionally set fire to a football tackling dummy in the school field house.
Smoke and flames activated a sprinkler system that extinguished the flames.
The school was evacuated for about 10 minutes while the firefighters worked to vent the smoke.
School officials say there is water damage on the balcony and in the music wing at the school.
No arrests have been reported.
