A FIRE at AFC Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium led to the evacuation of staff this morning.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue crews from Springbourne, Christchurch, Redhill Park and Westbourne were called at 8.46am and discovered a fire in an overhead light.

The fire was extinguished by removal.

AFC Bournemouth alerted supporters that they were briefly unable to buy tickets over the phone because the ticketing team were unable to answer calls but all services are now operating.
