A fire broke out at Sinsheimer Elementary School in San Luis Obispo Wednesday night as hundreds of residents gathered in the area for a fireworks show.
The fire began around 9:15 p.m., a witness said.
A KSBY photographer at the scene confirmed the fire began in a roll-off dumpster on campus. No structures were damaged.
The witness who sent KSBY a video of the fire said fireworks lit by people — possibly children — were the cause. KSBY has not been able to independently confirm that.
A separate witness told KSBY she saw kids light off fireworks in the dumpster.
Multiple police units were at the elementary school around 10:15 p.m.
A fireworks show was held at Sinsheimer Stadium following the SLO Blues baseball game Wednesday evening.
This is a developing story and will be updated as we learn more.
