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.

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.
