Few details have been released, but fire officials say crews were called shortly before 2 p.m. on Sunday to the former St. Jules Catholic Elementary School on Norman Road near Guy Street.

Firefighters arrived and found flames coming from the rear of the property.

No one was injured. Fire officials are still determining the place of origin, cause, and damage estimate.
