Huge blaze at specialist school in Devon

A £10.7million specialist school has been left severely damaged after a huge blaze tore through the building for hours on Sunday afternoon. Around 15 fire engines and specialist appliances rushed to The Promise School in Okehampton, Devon, after emergency services were alerted to the inferno at about 3.30pm. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said it received multiple reports of 'flames' and 'thick black smoke' rising from the site as the fire took hold.
