A number of blazes were started by juveniles rioting at a young offenders institution in Bristol tonight, the local fire service said.
My colleague, Beatrice Woolf, reports that up to 10 teenagers at Ashfield set fire to rubbish in one of the wings at about 7.50pm.
It took members of staff about 50 minutes to extinguish the flames, according to Avon Fire and Rescue Service, who were put on standby.
"About seven to 10 people were involved in a riot," a spokesman said. "The prison staff are now dealing with the perpetrators."
The fires were said to be small, with the level of damage done unclear. Some 400 male juveniles aged between 15 and 18 are held at Ashfield after being sentenced in courts across the South West, Wales, the Midlands and the London area
