RUSK, Texas (KLTV) - An electrical fire forced the temporary evacuation of the Rusk ISD administration building.

Rusk ISD Superintendent Grey Burton said around 7:20 a.m. Monday, a fire broke out inside a wall of the building when Oncor workers were restoring power to the facility.

Burton said no injuries were reported and damage to the building, while not major, was extensive enough to require relocating employees for an extended period of time until repairs can be completed.
