BURLESON — A toilet paper roll was set on fire at about 8:30 a.m. inside a restroom at Taylor Elementary, temporarily disrupting classes.
The fire melted the surrounding plastic container and produced a tremendous amount of smoke.
Burleson emergency personnel responded immediately to the school and students and staff were safely evacuated.
On re-entry to the building, campus administrators decided to relocate 13 classrooms to temporary buildings.
That was done so maintenance staff could air out the wing of the building where the restroom was located and thoroughly clean the building.
