OMAHA-FIRE-AND-RESCUE-BADGEOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — No one was injured when a kiln in an Omaha middle school art room sparked a fire overnight.

The fire occurred Wednesday night at Beadle Middle School in southwest Omaha.

Investigators say the fire was confined to the art room and no students were in the school at the time.
