On the evening of 11 October 2010, the disused school building was set on fire and around fifteen fire engines were sent to deal with the fire.

The building's shell was demolished within the next six months.

Famous quotes containing the word fire:
“Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful;
And pity to the general wrong of Rome—
As fire drives out fire, so pity pity—
Hath done this deed on Caesar.”

“As fire refines gold, so suffering refines virtue.”
—Chinese proverb.
“My paternal grandmother would not light a fire on the Sabbath and piled all Sunday’s washing-up in a bucket, to be dealt with on Monday morning, because the Sabbath was a day of rest—a practice that made my paternal grandfather, the village atheist, as mad as fire. Nevertheless, he willed five quid to the minister, just to be on the safe side.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
