Kids "of primary school age" reportedly set fire to a wooden gazebo as students stood in a classroom nearby.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) received a 999 call at around 4.22pm on Monday, August 8, reporting a fire at Somerville Primary School on Northbrook Road in Wallasey. Two fire engines arrived at the scene three minutes later and crews got to work putting out the blaze.
MFRS located a small fire at the school's wooden gazebo and it took crews less than 20 minutes to extinguish it. Once teachers at the school looked back at CCTV footage from during the incident they "sadly" released it was "children of primary school age" who "shattered windows and started the fire".
