Fire broke out at a Lake Country high school overnight.

Lake Country Fire Chief Steve Windsor says firefighters were called to George Elliot Secondary just after 10 p.m. Friday.

A fire caused considerable water and smoke damage to a classroom.

The fire started in a waste paper basket and was contained by the school's sprinkler system.

The school district had a restoration company en route as of late Friday, to mitigate the damage.
