Authorities say a northeast Washington high school was temporarily evacuated following a fire in a janitor's closet.
D.C. fire department spokesman Alan Etter says the fire occurred in a closet on the 6th floor of H.D. Woodson Senior High School on Eads Street. He says officials evacuated the school for at least an hour due to the fire and heavy smoke. No injuries were reported.
Etter says several small fires have been deliberately set at the school during this academic year.
He says the fire department is investigating the fire, along with school officials and D.C. police.
