SPOKANE, Wash. - Fire investigators determined Friday morning that the fire that destroyed the library at Sacajawea Middle School on the South Hill was intentionally set.
Investigators sifted the charred books after the fire was put out and found traces of some sort of flammable liquid in several places around the library. They say it appears someone broke into the school either through a door or a window and set the library ablaze.
Firefighters arrived on the scene around 4 a.m. to see the library engulfed in flames. They were able to stop the fire from spreading, but the library is a total loss. The school district canceled classes at the school - partly so investigators could have full access to the school, and partly because carbon monoxide levels were too high for students' safety.
District officials say attempts have been made in the past to start a fire in the exact same location.
This morning, my school's library was on fire (if you couldn't tell already). It's only been a week of school. How could this happen?
Frustrated
In Two weeks I'll officially be an 8th grader. I have mixed emotions, am I dreading the day or can I not wait? Either way I am definitely not prepared. (Especially when I rot my brain everyday watching tv).
A lion was stalking through the jungle one day when he came across a bull. The lion and the bull got into a tremendous battle but in the end the lion killed the bull and ate him up. The lion was so pleased with himself that he threw back his head and roared and roared. The noise attracted a hunter who followed the sound until he found the lion. The hunter took aim and killed the lion with a single shot. Moral: when you are full of bull it's best to keep your mouth shut. ~George Jessel
