Firefighters are battling a fire that broke out at St. Mary’s Catholic Technology College in Leyland in England on September 1.

Residents of Leyland told the Lancashire Evening Post that they saw huge plumes of smoke hanging above the town after the fire began on Sunday afternoon.

Five boys, aged between 11 and 15, have been arrested on suspicion of arson, according to the Lancashire Police.

Area residents were advised to shut windows and some were leaving the area.

The Lancashire Fire Service said that it has 20 fire engines on the scene and is putting around 90,000 liters of water an hour on the fire.

“We expect to be here for most of the night,” the service said via Twitter. “Foam boards in the roof and builders materials have added to the fire load making it difficult.”
