Fire fighters were called to Welshpool High School yesterday, after fire broke out in a storage cupboard.

Crews from Welshpool, Montgomery and Llanfair Caereinion fire stations were called at 9.29am and spent the day extinguishing the blaze and ventilating the school.

“Crews responded to a fire confined to a storage cupboard on the building’s first floor,” a spokesperson for the service told us.
