A fire broke out at an Olympic site just hours before it was set to officially open.
Firefighters attended the incident at the media centre at the Weymouth Pavilion where the Olympic 2012 sailing team were due to be interviewed by journalists.
It is thought that the fire started in the men’s toilets and was quickly put out by fire crews.
The building was evacuated and Olympic interviews had to be rescheduled at an alternative venue. There were no casualties reported in the incident.
A spokeswoman for Dorset Police confirmed that the police force is working with Dorset Fire and Rescue Service to establish the cause of the fire.
