A neighbor called 911 when they looked across at Urbandale High School and saw a huge "Rocket" on top of the building.
The rocket is actually a machine that keeps paint and drywall protected during construction. Some people who worked for the contractor who was working on the school had noticed its resemblance to a rocket as well and furthered the rocket joke by adding fins and a NASA sign to the rocket.
The flames from the heater made an orange glow which could be seen from the north and which was the reason for the 911 call.
Read the original story here. (with pictures of the "rocket")
I love funny news stories and I keep thinking how funny it would be to look up at the top of a school and see a NASA rocket hanging out there looking like it had either just fell from the sky or was about to take off.
