Fire inside East Texas high school under control [Video]

RUSK, Texas — Rusk ISD has canceled classes for Rusk High School Monday after a fire inside of a classroom Sunday evening. 

Superintendent Grey Burton said the fire was contained, but there is smoke in the building. Classes will be canceled Monday so the building’s electrical system can be checked. 

“We will also have a restoration company on site to thoroughly clean up the building. I will update everyone tomorrow afternoon with the schedule for the rest of the week,” Burton said. 

There is no information on what caused the fire at this time. CBS19 will update this story as more information becomes available.
