RUSK, Texas — No one was injured Monday morning after the breaker box caught fire at the Rusk ISD administration building.
Superintendent Gray Burton said the fire happened around 7:40 a.m. when the electricity was turned back on after a storm caused the power to go out Sunday night.
He said some sort of surge occurred and the breaker box caught fire. Everyone got out of the building and no one was injured, Burton said.
He said the fire created a hole in the wall.
Rusk ISD administration building employees will have to relocate for a while, but Burton said he's thankful that people were there to call the fire department and also get out safely.
