EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- El Paso Fire Department crews put out a fire inside the former Crosby Elementary School this morning.

The call first came in at 10:19 AM when smoke was seen coming from inside of the building. The fire was classified as minor.

The school, located at 5411 Wren Avenue in Northeast El Paso, has been permanently closed since the end of the 2020-2021 school year.

This is at least the third reported fire inside the shuttered school. The other two fires happened in January 2022 and April 2022. The El Paso Fire Marshal's Office deemed the fire in April 2022 arson.
