FIREFIGHTERS helped a Herefordshire school tackle a water leak yesterday afternoon.

A crew from Eardisley attended Weobley High School after a water leak was reported at around 4.27pm.

Alec Mackie, press officer for the fire service, said: "The water pipes had burst in the attic of a tower block and seeped through the ceiling.

"We helped them salvage items and mopped up for about an hour."
