Military tackle second school blaze
Green Goddess
The cause of both fires is being investigated
Military fire crews tackled a fire at a school in Sheffield for the second night in succession.

Two Green Goddesses were called to the semi-derelict Firth Park School at 0200 GMT on Tuesday.

The previous night four Green Goddesses had been called to the Barnsley Road school when a blaze left severe damage.

The cause of both fires is under investigation.

Armed forces dealt with eight incidents overnight, none serious.

Sergeant Major Nick Wilson, of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, told BBC News Online: "The school fire was a re-ignition from the previous night and dealt with very quickly."
