A blaze at a derelict school building in Kent is believed to have been started deliberately.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to the disused St John Fisher School building on Ordnance Street in Chatham shortly before 18:30 BST on Saturday.
Six fire engines attended and extinguished the flames before leaving just after 19:30. No injuries have been reported.
A spokesperson for the fire service said the fire was "believed to have been started deliberately".
The building has been disused since 2022, when the school moved to City Way in Rochester.
