Shanklea Primary School Fire, Cramlington - Saturday 5th July 2025

Local Primary School Fire – Saturday 5th July 2025 A fire broke out at a local primary school on Saturday 5th July 2025. This video captures the incident up until my phone battery died. At the time of filming, the cause of the fire was still unknown. However, when asked, a fire officer on the scene said: "Although it’s far too early to say for certain, at a glance it does appear to be related to the installed solar panels." The firefighters responded incredibly quickly and had the situation under control shortly after arriving. Huge thanks to our local fire crew for their fast and professional response.
