HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Fire Department responded to a local elementary school Monday morning to investigate the report of a trash can being lit on fire in an upstairs girls’ bathroom. This happened at Morgan Elementary School.

Staff successfully put the fire out with an extinguisher. Students were kept outside the building until all of the smoke cleared.

Once the smoke cleared, the school day continued as normal.
