seemed like it was relentless. if it is the administration building that is a portable building but that is the one that is where the main fire is. what is making this so difficult is that there are a lot of tool- combustible items inside. such as papers. these portables are just standard material made of plywood. really other areas are also in danger. >> when we listened to the fire chief to the mentioned that was there anybody inside of this school? >> the fire chief said that there were no injuries.
