Fire service investigating cause of Stratton Education Centre blaze
The fire service has confirmed it investigating a blaze which broke out at Stratton Education Centre last night.
Crews from Stratton, Swindon and Westlea rushed to the fire within the derelict building on St Philips Road in Stratton after receiving reports at 10.10pm yesterday.
This latest incident comes after the former education centre went up in flames back in March, leaving the roof destroyed and the building gutted. Two teenagers, 15 and 16, were arrested on suspicion of arson just days later.
Last night, eight firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the flames using hose reel jets.
The fire was out by 1am and the four fire engines attending left shortly after.
