Tecumseh Correctional Institute

TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) – Nebraska prison officials say a chemical spill ignited a small fire in a closet at the state prison in Tecumseh.

No one was injured in the fire that started Tuesday inside the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution’s wood shop.

A news release from the State Department of Correctional Services say the chemical _ which was not identified _ spilled on the floor, and rags meant to clean up the spill spontaneously combusted.
