Part of Richmond College destroyed in fire
A fire which broke out in the early hours of the morning has destroyed Richmond College’s painting workshop.
25 firefighters from several fire stations attended the incident after the alarms were activated in the Egerton Road complex.
It took firefighters over 4 hours to extinguish the fire but they managed to prevent the flames spreading into other parts of the building.
Noel Hanson from the fire service said: “The firefighters did really well to stop it from spreading to the rest of the building. The rest of the area was saved by firefighter action and I would like to commend them for their work as well as the security at Richmond College for their guidance.”
There were no casualties reported and an investigation is now underway to establish the cause of the fire.
