Sisters High School was evacuated after a fire was discovered in a girls bathroom trash can Wednesday morning. Deschutes County Sheriff's Sgt. Jason Wall says a student notified staff of a fire in a girls bathroom trash can just before 10:30 a.m. "They responded to that restroom - the girls bathroom, essentially - and they were able to put the fire out relatively simply, with a fire extinguisher. However, as this is transpiring, we have protocols that are obviously followed, evacuation of the school, so there’s a lot going on, and then a second fire is reported." He tells KBND News, "The toilet paper receptacle that is in each one of the stalls, that was lit on fire. The toilet paper itself was able to smolder and burn hotter than the first fire that took place in the trash can."
That second fire led to the full closer of the school for the day.
