CEDAR RAPIDS - Quick thinking by a student and staff member kept a fire from doing significant damage at Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School Tuesday morning. Firefighters say a fluorescent light in the school's weight room failed and sparked a small fire. A student and staff member at the school grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the small fire before firefighters arrived, after pulling the fire alarm to alert the school. The situation was handled before firefighters arrived on scene and students were back in class 15 minutes after the fire alarm was pulled.
