Firefighters have said quick action prevented a school from being destroyed after a fire in the building’s roof.
Six fire engines and an aerial ladder platform were sent to the blaze at the Sneinton Church of England Primary School soon after midday on Thursday 30 August.
Fire crews wearing breathing apparatus used four hose reel jets and an aerial ladder platform to fight the fire in the single storey building. A thermal imaging camera and positive pressure ventilation fan were also used.
The fire is believed to have been accidental and caused by work being carried out on the school’s roof.
Station manager Andy Lindley told BBC News:
"We had to break into the roof from the classrooms underneath as well as through the roof from above. If we were short of resources we could potentially have lost the school.”
