Crews responded right after 9 p.m. to 120 Knox Avenue in Jefferson Township.
This is the location of Radcliff Middle School, which has been closed since 2005.
Wilcox told News Center 7 that this building has caught fire multiple times over the years.
Wilcox said it was a debris fire and since there is no electricity to the building, there isn’t a risk of danger.
Dispatch reported that the party who reported the fire claimed to see adolescents leaving the building at that time, he said.
The fire was put out fairly easily, Wilcox said.
