Firefighters were called to a fire at Croydon College last night.

The crew from Croydon fire station were called to the building at 8.10pm, where a fire had started in a tumble dryer in the beauty suite.

Watch Manager Harvey Payne said: "Security at the college were alerted to a fire alarm and they went to check. As they came around the corner they could see all the smoke.

"The fire had started in the tumble dryer which had contained some of it, it was just spreading from the tumble dryer into the room when we arrived.

"The crew managed to control the fire and knock it back before it spread, they did very well."

No-one was injured in the incident.
