An investigation is under way after the second fire in less than a month at the old Fairham Community College site in Clifton.
The blaze broke out around 7.44pm on Tuesday (May 9) and began on the first floor before spreading to the roof of the derelict building.
Crews from West Bridgford, Highfields, London Road and Arnold were called to deal with the fire on Farnborough Road.
No-one was hurt but people in Clifton were asked to keep doors and windows closed as the fire produced plumes of thick black smoke.
We have six appliances and around 40 firefighters on scene at the fire in #Clifton. Thank you for your patience while we deal with this. 🚒 https://t.co/StM6G34FYa
