Emergency Services personnel have responded to a reported gas leak at a secondary school in Wythenshawe.

The North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) has confirmed that clinicians have assessed over 80 people. 

GMP Wythenshawe has confirmed that a 13-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon.

A spokesperson for the force said:

‘Following an incident earlier today involving the release of gas from an aerosol can at a school on Firbank Road, Manchester we can confirm a 13y/o girl has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a section 5 offensive weapon. She currently remains in custody.’

In a statement, a spokesperson for NWAS said:

‘We are dealing with an incident at a high school in Wythenshawe. 

‘We are at the scene with a number of ambulances and clinicians and have assessed and discharged more than 80 people – we continue to do this. 

‘Two patients have been taken to hospital with minor breathing difficulties.’

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service said:

‘At around 12:20 today (16 Feb) crews were called to an incident at a high school in Wythenshawe after reports of a release of gas. 

‘Two fire engines from Wythenshawe fire station quickly attended and ventilated the premises.

‘Crews are supporting colleagues from Greater Manchester Police and North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), and a number of pupils are being assessed by NWAS. 

‘Firefighters are now monitoring the scene and remain in attendance at this time.’

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
