DES MOINES, Wash. (AP) — A small fire inside a Highline Community College building in Des Moines set off sprinklers that soaked two floors.

The Kent Fire Department reports the fire started about 8 a.m. Tuesday in a desktop computer in the Community Outreach Building. No one was injured.

Sprinklers put out the fire but continued to spray water until manually shut off. Firefighters tried to protect computers and remove as much water as they could.
