Serious school fire started in kitchen

A serious blaze that caused a school to close in early January started in a kitchen, fire investigators have found.

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service was called to a fire at Holy Redeemer RC School, in Pershore at around 6.45 pm on 14 January.

A total of three pumps were used to put out the fire, which caused “substantial damage” to the staff room and a nearby corridor. There was also heavy smoke damage in classrooms.

The school was unoccupied at the time.

The Station commander said: “The fire was brought under control by around 9.20 pm although crews remained at the school to continue damping down and to undertake fire investigation.”
