Fire broke out on the roof of a building under construction on the campus in the 11200 block of Gothic Avenue. Officials with the Los Angeles Fire Department said firefighters worked inside the structure to see if the fire was confined to the roof or if other parts of the building were involved.

No injuries were reported, and crews put out the fire in 26 minutes, according to the LAFD. Students will go home early as the school schedule shifted to a minimum day.
