A primary school in the Highlands was evacuated after a fire broke out inside the building.
All children and staff at Park Primary in Invergordon were safe, Highland Council said.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said the blaze was well developed and large when seven SFRS appliances and a high reach appliance were at the scene and firefighters were working to extinguish the flames.
Responders
At its height, there were more than 50 firefighters, nine appliances, a high-reach appliance, and several support vehicles at the scene.
Children at the badly damaged school, which has a roll of 176 pupils and 32 nursery children, are to get cash compensation and be offered to counsel. Lessons were temporarily accommodated at Invergordon Academy. The fire service is investigating if an old laptop was the cause of the fire.
BAFSA Comments
“Another school has gone, sadly too old to have been included in the requirement for sprinklers that came in 2010.”
