Buses, Classroom Set on Fire at Redlands High School

Firefighters responded to reports of burning buses and a storage area fire before finding a classroom on fire at Redlands High School

Two buses and a storage trailer were set on fire and another fire burned a classroom Wednesday morning at a nearby San Bernardino County high school.

The fire appears to be a case of arson, according to the Redlands Fire Department. Students are on spring break this week, according to the Redlands High School website, and no injuries were reported.

The bus yard and storage area fires were reported at about 4 a.m. Firefighters discovered the burning portable classroom after arriving at the storage area in the 800 block of Citrus Avenue.

There were signs of a break-in at the school, according to the fire department.

"Clearly, we're investigating this as arson," said Redlands Fire Chief Jeff Frazier. "We have several leads we're following up on right now."
