For the second time in a day, firefighters were dispatched to a Gwinnett County school Wednesday afternoon.
A small fire in a boys restroom forced Radloff Middle School in Duluth to be evacuated, Gwinnett County fire Capt. Tommy Rutledge said.
Investigators believe a plastic toilet paper dispenser may have been intentionally set on fire around 2:45 p.m., Rutledge said.
The school's fire alarm sounded and an administrator was able to extinguish the blaze before firefighters arrived, Rutledge said. The fire did minimal damage, but sent light smoke throughout the bathroom area of the sixth-grade wing on the first floor.
Everyone in the school was evacuated until 3:10 as firefighters removed the smoke from the building, Rutledge said.
Earlier Wednesday, a small fire in an electrical panel forced officials to evacuate Dacula Elementary School.
