WANBLEE (AP) — Classes were canceled Thursday at Crazy Horse School in the southwestern South Dakota town of Wanblee because of a fire the previous night.

Jackson County Sheriff's Deputy Tim Nutley tells the media that the fire is believed to have started in the school's boiler room. He says damage was not significant, but there was smoke throughout the building and several school staff members were evacuated.

About 350 students in kindergarten through 12th grade attend the school on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
