The blaze at Woodmill High School was being fought by 15 fire appliances and two height appliances since the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was called at 5.05pm on Sunday. Deputy assistant chief officer Stuart Stevens said: ‘This is a very large and complex incident and our firefighters continue to work in difficult conditions to extinguish the flames.’
Today is not a bank holiday in Scotland and schools returned last week so pupils were being advised not to go to school today. The incident commander added that the fire was burning in the school’s main building but firefighters were working around the building’s edge to contain it.More than 80 firefighters were called to deal with the fire Mr Stevens added: ‘This will be a prolonged incident and our advice to nearby residents and members of the public is to avoid the area to allow access for emergency service vehicles, and close doors and windows due to high volumes of smoke.
