CUDAHY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Classes are canceled for the rest of the day Wednesday at Cudahy Middle School after a student sprayed pepper spray during a fight. 

It is the second incident for the district in two days. 

On Wednesday morning, the Cudahy Fire Department was called to the school to help air out the building. School officials later decided to cancel classes due to the building's design and ventilation system. 

The District says students can be picked up in the gym. 

There was another incident at Cudahy High School on Tuesday where pepper spray was also used. In that incident, students and staff who were affected were evaluated, but officials said no one was hurt.
