SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- Students in Santa Rosa feared bad luck was striking again after a small school barn caught fire Thursday night.

The Tubbs Fire destroyed Santa Rosa High School's beloved 60-acre farm and all of their barns back in October.

Another small barn, located just behind the school was damaged by fire Thursday night.

Fortunately only four pig pens were damaged and no animals were injured. But the fire brought back a flood of bad memories for the teenagers.

Many showed up that very night, in their pajamas with a feeling of dread.
