There were no injuries Monday afternoon during a construction-related fire on the Ernest Ward Middle School campus.
The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to an acetylene tank fire inside the fenced-in construction zone at the school at 3:40 p.m., just minutes before afternoon dismissal time. The fire was quickly controlled with no damage to structures and no injuries.
Acetylene gas is often used in welding or metal cutting applications.
