Fire crews remained at the scene for around 16 hours
A joint investigation has been launched following a blaze at a former college building close to the Nottingham border. The fire that took place at St John's College on Peache Way, Bramcote , on Sunday, May 12, is being investigated by Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service as a suspected arson attack.
Ten fire engines, two aerial ladder platforms, a water bowser, a command support vehicle, and a welfare unit were in attendance, as well as paramedics from East Midlands Ambulance Service. Three fire engines remained at the scene in the morning. No one is believed to have been injured in the fire. Detective Sergeant Jo Eaton of Nottinghamshire Police said: "Our joint investigation is at an early stage but initial indications suggest this fire was started deliberately. Arson is an extremely serious offence that can lead to tragic consequences, so we will be working hard to find out who is responsible.
"Crews from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, and our Joint Fire Control, worked solidly from 7pm on Sunday, May 12, to extinguish this fire, and we remain on site today to understand the cause. We will always work with our partners to ensure the safest outcome for our communities and do not tolerate deliberate fire setting.
