Flames broke out at P.S. 121 in South Ozone Park just before 5 a.m.

Fire department officials said it started on a scaffolding outside the fifth floor, damaging more than a dozen classrooms.

They do not believe anyone was in the building at the time.

A custodial worker told NY1 that workers have been called in to help clean the building and the school likely has water damage.

Department of Education officials say air tests are being done to determine if the school can be opened on Monday.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
