In recent weeks, some construction work has been underway at the school, with scaffolding clearly visible around the building. Local politician Jay Ingerson was close when the fire broke out and posted a video of the smoke leaking from the building on his Twitter account. “I just heard an explosion near Northfield Academy or in. Really worried about people there,” he wrote.
Ingerson, who lives on a nearby street, said he heard a “tremendous roar”. He added: “We went out immediately and saw a thick column of smoke.” More: “The house seemed to be shaking a little. It was so exciting.” The students were immediately evacuated and taken to their homes, and several other residents later reported hearing a very violent “explosion”. At the moment, it is not known if there are any casualties: the information is expected to be updated in the next few hours.
