POLICE are investigating a fire which broke out in a toilet receptacle at Brockhill prison in Tardebigge.
The fire was started at about 11pm on Thursday. Three prison officers were treated for smoke inhalation but no inmates were injured.
A Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "We do not know how the fire started but fires do not usually start in a toilet receptacle without someone putting a match to it."
