A smoking motor in a water cooler caused heavy smoke in the ROTC building at Red Bank High School on Sunday afternoon.

Some firefighters began ventilating the building while others searched for the source and found the water cooler motor. Damage to the building was minimum and no injuries were reported, Maxwell said.
