BRICK — A fire that broke out in a Dumpster at the high school was ruled an "accidental fire," Brick Township police Lt. Bill Kraska said.
The fire was discovered after 5:30 p.m. Aug. 10 in a garbage bin located behind Brick Township High School, Chambers Bridge Road. Construction companies were working inside the school earlier that day, Kraska said. Authorities believe debris that was disposed in the Dumpster may have been flammable.
The construction company had left before the fire erupted, so no one was injured, Kraska said.
The township fire department extinguished the fire and did not deem an investigation was necessary.
"It wasn’t arson," Kraska said.
