LEWISBURG, Preble County —

Firefighters were called to Tri-County North Middle School, 530 Panther Way, on Tuesday afternoon for a small fire that broke out in an art room.

Associate Chief Ken Pierce, Lewisburg Fire Department, said an automatic alarm system was set off in the school building at about 5:40 p.m. The fire started when pieces of plastic were left in a kiln that was still operating, he said.

Pierce said the school was not damaged by the fire, although the art room did fill with smoke.

Only custodial workers were in the building at the time of the fire.
