An investigation will take place today after a fire at Exeter City's football stadium. The fire service was called to tackle the blaze at St James Park last night.
The blaze was located at the St James Road and Well Street end, involving a temporary building and outside storage area. Five crews dealt with the fire.
At one point it threatened to spread to one of the stands. Fire crews used breathing apparatus and hose reel jets to prevent the fire escalating. Over half of the portacabin was damaged by the fire, as well as electrical cupboards and electrical intake.
The all-clear was given at just before midnight.
Police assisted with crowd control and road closures. All road closures were lifted shortly after 1am.
In a statement the club said: "Thank you to the members of the public who reported the incident and for the fast response of the fire crews who brought the fire under control preventing further damage."
