Fire crews tackle blaze at former school building

Fire crews have been tackling a large blaze at a former Aberdeen school.

A large plume of smoke could be seen across the skyline yesterday morning due to the incident at Victoria Road School.

Police said Victoria Road was closed in both directions while fire crews dealt with the blaze in the Torry area of the city.

Victoria Road School - seen as a locally significant granite building - shut its doors in 2008.

An S FR S spokesman said :“Fire fighters currently remain on the scene working to extinguish the fire.”
