NIFRS dealing with a suspected chemical incident at Coleraine Grammar School.
NI Fire and Rescue Service has been dealing with what is believed to be a chemical incident at a school in Coleraine.
Firefighters received a call at 4.12pm today (Tuesday) reporting the incident on the Castlerock Road.
At one point, six fire appliances were in attendance, all supported by a Command Support Unit from Kilrea.
NIFRS advised residents in the area to keep their windows and doors closed.
It’s understood the incident is linked to hazardous gases being released in a confined area at Coleraine Grammar School.
In a statement, the school principal said that no pupils were present at the school as they are currently on Easter holidays.
However, three members of staff were advised to attend hospital.
The statement added: “The school is working proactively with the emergency services to ensure a full clean-up takes place as soon as possible.”
