ATF, Tulsa Fire investigators gather final evidence in Tulsa school blaze

We could have answers about what caused the massive fire at the Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences by the end of the week.

ATF and Tulsa Fire investigators are wrapping up the evidence gathering portion of their investigation. Once that is completed late Tuesday, investigators will gather to go over evidence and begin writing their reports. Those reports are expected to be completed this Thursday or Friday.

Two of the eight firefighters injured in last Wednesday's fire at Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences are still in the hospital. Stan May, the spokesperson for the Tulsa Fire Department, says they are in the hospital in good condition.

The flames broke out at the school at 17th and Lewis around 4:30 in the morning in the school's lab area. Not long after firefighters arrived, at least two explosions erupted, forcing them from the building. The firefighters suffered burns to their hands and face. Firefighters finally got the flames under control about noon.
