A FIRE broke out in toilets at an Oxford student accommodation block tonight.

Crews were called at 6.30pm to Farndon Court, in Woodstock Road, to reports of a fire in the building’s toilets.

A spokeswoman for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said the incident was not believed to be serious, but that four fire engines were at the scene.

She said: “There are a lot of people in the block, which is why we sent four engines.”
