A blaze which badly damaged a former Swansea school is believed to have started deliberately, according to firefighters.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service spent five hours at the scene after being called to the old Gorseinon School in Pontardulais Road, in Gorseinon, on Friday afternoon.

At its height, four crews tackled the blaze which involved an annexe.

Residents and businesses were advised to "stay indoors, close windows and doors, and turn off any air conditioning or ventilation units".
