Electrical Fire Destroys High School

This photo is what remained of a high school in Oklahoma after an electrical problem resulted in a fire. It began burning on a Sunday and was spotted around 11 p.m. By that time it took 60 firefighters from six communities over six hours to bring it under control.  All that was left standing were portions of some exterior brick walls. The fire was apparently started by an electrical short circuit, which smoldered for over two hours before it burst into flames.
