Probe following mental health unit fire

INVESTIGATIONS are continuing into a suspected arson at Green Lane Hospital in Devizes.

Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service crews from Devizes and Melksham were called to the hospital at 2.20am this morning.

The service said 21 patients were safely evacuated.

Four breathing apparatus and two hosereel jets were used during the operation, and ventilation fans were used to disperse heavy smoke from the building.

Initial investigations suggest the fire was started deliberately, and fire officers are working with colleagues from the police to determine the exact cause.
