Firefighters are on scene at Hillwood High School after a small fire broke out in the boiler room, police and school officials said Tuesday morning.

Crews responded just before 7 a.m. to the school at 400 Davidson Road.

Metro Nashville Public Schools spokesman Joe Bass said the fire was small and was out sometime before 7:30 a.m.

The fire caused students and faculty to evacuate the building while firefighters investigate the cause of the blaze.

No injuries have been reported and a dispatcher said crews with Piedmont Natural Gas have been called to the scene.

This is a developing story.
