Ferguson said the fire was in the commercial dryer next to the boy's locker room. Though the exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined, it could have been due to a buildup of lint, he said.
The fire was extinguished and damage was confined to the dryer. Some smoke went into the boy's locker room and gym.
