AN ARSON investigation is being undertaken into a fire at a disused school in Ruthin.
Two classrooms were damaged in the blaze at the former Rhos Street school last Sunday.
A North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: “We are conducting an investigation into the fire which we believe was caused by deliberate ignition.”
Fire crews from Buckley and Holwell extinguished the blaze.
A police crime scenes investigation team were assisting in the fire service investigation.
A North Wales Police spokesman said: “We suspect arson to be the cause of the fire.”
He added: “Anyone who has any information should call us on 101 quoting reference W069681. A Denbighshire County Council spokesman said: "The old Rhos Street school building is still officially operational, but we are in the process of decommissioning and emptying the building, following the pupils and teachers relocating to their new school at the Glasdir site in Ruthin, which they share with Ysgol Pen Barras."
