Smoky Fire Prompts Evacuations at Lawrence, Mass. School

Lawrence firefighters say it happened at the Bruce School on Butler Street

A smoky fire at a school in Lawrence, Massachusetts, prompted evacuations Monday morning.

Lawrence Fire says it happened at the Bruce School on Butler Street.

At first students were told to stay in their classrooms, but as the fire spread, they were all evacuated.

No one was injured, but the damage to the school's second floor is extensive.

It's unclear what caused the fire, which is still being investigated. Lawrence Fire says there's no indication at this point that it is suspicious.

It's likely classes for these students will be held at a different school Tuesday.
