Numerous classrooms were guttered this evening when a fire broke out at a primary school in Sullivan Street, Van der Bijl Park shortly before 21:00.
An off duty ER24 paramedic explained that he was on his way home when he noticed a cloud of smoke coming from the building. The paramedic investigated and found that a lapa on the school ground was well alight as well as adjacent classrooms.
The ER24 Contact Centre notified the Van der Bijl Park fire of the emergency and they quickly responded to the scene. An ER24 medical unit was also dispatched to the scene.
Fire fighters on the scene tackled the blaze which quickly spread into the classrooms. It is not clear where or how the fire started.
People from nearby areas flocked to the scene when they noticed the smoke and the emergency vehicles.
Medical units stood by on the scene to provide assistance to the fire fighters. Fortunately no one was injured in this incident.
