Primary / Secondary School, School / University Dallas, TX – Automatic sprinkler system contains fire at Texas high school; No injuries April 29, 2016 viking210 A fire Wednesday at South Oak Cliff High School apparently was started by a burning computer in a classroom, Dallas Fire-Rescue says. Firefighters were called to the school after classes ended. It appeared that a computer had caught fire and burned some cabinets, filling a third-floor hallway with smoke. The automatic sprinkler system contained the fire. Fifty to 100 people were at the school for after-school activities. No injuries were reported. Earlier Wednesday, about 50 students staged a walkout at the school to protest the condition of the building. The students have been complaining for months about leaky roofs, temperature problems and other problems. They want a new building. It’s projected that the building will receive up to $40 million in improvements under the 2015 bond program.
