Classes Moved to Vacant School After Fire in Oklahoma

Officials have found a new facility for Tulsa, Okla., students whose school was destroyed in a fire Wednesday morning.

The Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences says classes will be held Thursday at Sequoyah Elementary School. Tulsa Public Schools offered up the vacant building Wednesday after the blaze destroyed the charter school’s building at 17th Street and Lewis Avenue.

School workers scrambled Wednesday to ready the vacant Sequoyah building in time for Thursday’s classes.

Eight firefighters suffered burns after a series of explosions broke out in the building. Investigators are still determining the cause of the fire and subsequent blasts. No students or employees were in the building when the fire broke out at about 5 a.m. Wednesday.
