Former Horsham college buildings destroyed by fire

FIRE has destroyed a derelict college building in Hurst Rd, Horsham overnight.

Firefighters were called to the former Northbrook College building at 11.15pm on Friday and arrived to find smoke pouring from the building and the first floor alight.

Residents of an adjacent nursing were advised to keep windows closed, and one further neighbour was moved to a nearby house for safety.

An estimated 95 per cent of the first floor and roof have been damaged by fire and the cause of the blaze is unknown at the present time.
