Colorado Springs Published 86 day(s) ago

Students had to be evacuated from Rampart High School in Colorado Springs Wednesday morning because of a small fire in a restroom.  Set on fire:  toilet paper.

The fire was immediately extinguished.  There were no injuries and no damage to the building.

Smoke spread through one wing of the school.  Firefighters used big fans to blow it out of the building.  Students were put on buses to keep them warm. 

They were allowed back inside about an hour later.
