Firefighters were called to fight a massive fire at Exeter City’s St James’s Park Stadium on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Exeter, who play in League One, said in a statement on Thursday morning: “We can confirm that last night’s fire caused damage to a small area of \u200b\u200bthe stadium.<\/p>\n

“The fire is believed to have started at the corner of St James’s Road and Well Street at the stadium and caused damage to a temporary building housing the stadium’s control room.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alarm was raised just after 10pm and more than five firefighters were called to the scene and the fire was extinguished within two hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will assess the damage today and update as we receive further information.<\/p>\n
