Witness appeal following fire in Haslemere

We are appealing for witnesses after a large fire at an abandoned building in Haslemere this evening.

At 5.44pm we were called to assist Surrey Fire and Rescue at the scene of a large fire at Haslemere Prep School on Hill Road in Haslemere.

The school has been disused for some years. No one was inside the property at the time of the fire and no one was injured.

Multiple fire engines attended the scene, which is now under control, but could take several more hours to fully extinguish.

A 14-year-old girl, two 14-year-old boys and a 15-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of arson.
