A BLAZE has broken out at University of Warwick housing this evening with huge flames erupting from the block.
Firefighters raced to the scene with at least two trucks spotted and a police car around 9pm.
Videos of the blaze show the top floor of the university’s Arthur Vick 1 residence engulfed by flames.
A room on the top floor is believed to have been the source of the fire, although this is yet to be confirmed.
Smoke can also be seen rising from the building.
The flames is now reported to be under control, with students inside the building and on the campus from the scene.
A UoW spokesperson told Warwick University’s The Boar news: “Emergency services are attending a fire on campus in a residence block – Arthur Vick 1.
“Students have been evacuated, and the University is working with the emergency services.
“The accommodation team is providing support to those affected.”
It is unclear whether students will be able to re-enter the block or have to be temporarily housed elsewhere this evening.
