The incident happened at around noon while classes were ongoing at the school. By the time this reporter arrived at the school, personnel from the Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services had been able to put out the flames, which had already damaged part of the house. The affected house is on the upper floor of a double-storey block. Only one of the rooms, being the bedroom, was greatly affected by the fire, as most items in it were reduced to ashes. The passage also caught  fire, as some items placed along it were also burnt. The bathroom, sitting room and the kitchen were spared. However, some items might have been damaged by the water used to put out the flames as they were soaked by the water which had been splashed all over the house.
