FORMBY SCHOOL KITCHEN DAMAGED BY FIRE.
 

RANGE HIGH School was the seen of blaze that whipped out it's kitchens on Friday 29 May.  The fire is thought to have been started by an electrical fault that not only affected the kitchens the schools classrooms.   

Luckily the classrooms were damaged by thick black smoke only.  The effect of this blaze will mean that no hot meals will be provided to staff or pupils until September.  "Thankfully no one was hurt and the steel shutters on the kitchen hatches prevented the fire from ripping through the school.  The damage is tremendous in the kitchen.  I would not like to think what the result would have been if the shutters weren't down.  We have 30 classrooms damaged by the firs thick smoke smoke and the clean up will take days.  The lucky thing is that alma was raised early and quickly call out time by the Formby Fire Station resulted in only the kitchen being gutted by the fire.   On anouther note thankfully it is half term so this will give us a breathing space and time to clean up and get other catering arrangements in place." A member of staff told us.

One member of staff during the clean up said "That's my cash till, or what's left of it.  I think."  So intense was the fire.
