An investigation is underway tonight into a fire at a primary

:00:14.:00:18.

Ten fire crews worked through the night to bring

:00:19.:00:22.

They were unable to save infant and nursery classrooms

:00:23.:00:26.

at Coed Eva Primary school, but did prevent the fire spreading

:00:27.:00:29.

It started in the early hours and quickly took hold.

:00:30.:00:40.

The flames ripped through the classroom used by the infant

:00:41.:00:42.

In the daylight, the destruction was met with disbelief and heartache.

:00:43.:00:49.

By children and parents who had gathered outside the gates.

:00:50.:00:53.

She is absolutely devastated, absolutely devastated, aren't you?

:00:54.:00:56.

You can see her classroom from here, can't you?

:00:57.:01:08.

I don't think they have realised how many lives they have devastated.

:01:09.:01:13.

Absolutely fantastic and now we have to worry about the children

:01:14.:01:21.

Happy New Year(!) I run the Messy Fingers so everything

:01:22.:01:29.

It has taken us a long time to get him settled into reception

:01:30.:01:44.

and this is going to be starting all over again.

:01:45.:01:46.

And this is such a wonderful school, it is heartbreaking.

:01:47.:01:51.

As the fire crews continued to dampen down, the fire

:01:52.:01:53.

The man leading the team told how the building was destroyed

:01:54.:01:59.

It is a primary school, it has got kids working.

:02:00.:02:04.

A school is more than just a building.

:02:05.:02:07.

It represents all the children's effort and they work.

:02:08.:02:10.

By the nature of its content, it is combustible.

:02:11.:02:12.

And it is unoccupied and it is the small hours

:02:13.:02:16.

You are going to get quite a well-developed fire before

:02:17.:02:19.

the call goes into the Fire and Rescue Service.

:02:20.:02:22.

Coed Eva is a school of more than 500 pupils.

:02:23.:02:29.

The challenge now will be to open it as soon as possible.

:02:30.:02:32.

I think the main priority for all of us, we have always done

:02:33.:02:35.

everything together and my key aim is that we keep everybody on site

:02:36.:02:38.

so we can accommodate everybody in our junior building,

:02:39.:02:40.

Meanwhile, a criminal investigation is underway.

:02:41.:02:46.

A 33-year-old man has been killed - and another is in hospital -

:02:47.:02:49.

Police have named the man who died as Simon Lewis from the Trowbridge

:02:50.:02:57.

The incident, involving four cars, happened on Lamby Way.

:02:58.:03:04.

A 32-year-old woman and a three-year-old child were also

:03:05.:03:06.

treated in hospital but later discharged.

:03:07.:03:08.

The police helicopter service covering mid and south-west Wales

:03:09.:03:10.

The operations of the Dyfed-Powys Police Helicopter were taken over

:03:11.:03:17.

by the National Police Air Service at midnight.

:03:18.:03:24.

The force's commissioner says it'll still mean 24-hour air cover.

:03:25.:03:27.

Rugby and the first Pro 12 Welsh derby of the day saw the Ospreys

:03:28.:03:30.

beat the Dragons 12-7 at the Liberty Stadium.

:03:31.:03:32.

Dan Evans scored the first try as the home side enjoyed

:03:33.:03:35.

The victory lifts them to sixth in the table -

:03:36.:03:43.

and their eighth successive win over the visitors.

:03:44.:03:47.

And the Scarlets are facing the Blues at the Arms Park.

:03:48.:03:53.

The latest score is Scarlets 20-15 over the blues.

Football and Swansea caretaker manager Alan Curtis is expected

:04:04.:04:05.

to take charge of his fifth game when Swansea visit

:04:06.:04:07.

The former Wales forward could stay in the role until the end

:04:08.:04:11.

Chairman Huw Jenkins is continuing to look for a permanent replacement

:04:12.:04:15.

to Gary Monk who was sacked last month.

:04:16.:04:17.

The important thing is to get the right one.

:04:18.:04:23.

Obviously, the fact that we have got a couple of results has probably

:04:24.:04:26.

eased the pressure to get somebody in straightaway.

:04:27.:04:32.

It is important that when it comes and he buys into the philosophy of

:04:33.:04:37.
