DALLAS - The abandoned building which once housed the Barbara Manns Alternative schools in Oak Cliff caught fire early Sunday morning.
Dallas Fire-Rescue was called to the school shortly before 4:30 a.m. when someone saw fire coming through the roof of the building.
Firefighters initially attempted to extinguish from inside the building, but as the fire grew Dallas Fire-Rescue decided to shift to fight the fire defensively.
60-70 firefighters were called to the scene of the three-alarm fire to help keep the flames from spreading.
Dallas Fire-Rescue says no injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
Officials say the buildings will have to be torn down due to the damage.
Dallas Fire-Rescue says there was a small fire at the same building on Sept. 26.
The cause of that fire was not determined.
