Fire breaks out at Wesley College but classes go on as normal

A fire broke out at Wesley College on Wednesday morning.

Principal Ross Barron said the school would continue as normal after the blaze broke in the South Perth campus just after 5am.

Firefighters responded to an activated alarm before they discovered smoke on the third level of a building.

The blaze, which started in a light fitting, was contained just before 6.10am.

It is not being treated as suspicious, with the cause believed to be an electrical fault.
