A Gwinnett County, Georgia fire investigator says a weekend fire at Brookwood High School was arson.
The Aug. 16 blaze damaged two trailers that were being used as classrooms. According to Fire Captain Thomas Rutledge, someone intentionally started the fire underneath one of the structures.
One trailer was destroyed and a second was heavily damaged.
The main school building was not affected.
