A JOINT police and fire investigation is underway to establish the cause of a fire that broke out in a gym at a disused school on Thursday evening.
Two crews from Orsett were called to St Chad’s School in St Chad’s Road, Tilbury at around 7.50pm.
The school has been empty since June when it merged with Torells to become The Gateway Academy at a new site in Marshfoot Road, Tilbury.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used one hose reel to tackle the fire.
Crews reported the building was heavily smoke logged but quickly extinguished the flames and the fire was out by 8.30pm.
