NSC facilities closed after blaze

Part of the National Sports Centre will remain closed today after a changing room fire.

The Island's fire and Rescue Service says it was called out to the NSC just after 5.30pm yesterday.

The building was evacuated safely when the blaze broke out - fire crews in breathing gear tackled the flames which severely damaged the gym locker room.

An investigation into the cause is still underway - the Department of Education, Sport and Culture says while the pool is still open, most other indoor facilities will remain shut for the time being.
