Fire at Texas Catholic School

May 07, 2008 05:25 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link

Classes were canceled at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio after a four-alarm fire severely damaged the Catholic college's 113-year-old historic main building Tuesday night, according to the Houston Chronicle . There were no injuries or deaths as a result of the fire, but more than 100 students have been displaced from their dorms. Finals remain scheduled for next week.

Officials are still seeking the cause of the fire and are also looking into potential links to other minor incidents around campus—such as a small trash can fire that day and a bomb threat found Monday.
