They're not saying what that evidence is, but they believe the arsonist waited and watched crews put out the tower fire before setting the second in the storage building. The fire did not disrupt classes for the school's 43-hundred students, but it was the topic of the day. I heard it was a senior prank or something like that , says student Sue Ramirez. Another student, Andrew Zuniga has his theory. It s not really a prank.
People try to make it a prank, but it turns out to be much worse than it is.
The fire destroyed desks and equipment in the storage shed and caused about a quarter million dollars damage. There's a five thousand-dollar reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. School officials everywhere are closely tuned to the possibility of violence on campuses, but the violence in this case was not directed against people. These two morning things are vandals and no attempt to harm people is happening at two a.m. , says Vaeth. School officials say they never want to think it s one of their own students who would do this, but a San Jose arson investigator says 95 percent of school fires that are deliberately set are set by a student who attends that school.
