Firefighters have extinguished flames at a private school in a Wiltshire town.

Emergency services were called to reports of a fire breaking out at Warminster School shortly before 5pm this afternoon (Monday).

Police closed Church Street in both directions as fire crews raced to deal with the blaze.

A fire commander at the scene told Wiltshire 999s that the flames started in a window frame – before starting to ingress into the boarding school’s living quarters.
