A 14-year-old youth has been charged with deliberately lighting a fire that destroyed several classrooms at a Hobart primary school.
The fire at the Bowen Road Primary School started about 4:00pm on Saturday.
A joint investigation by the Tasmania Fire Service and police determined it had been deliberately lit.
The 14-year-old youth will be proceeded against under the Youth Justice Act.
Police said a number of the classrooms, which had been recently renovated, will have to be demolished.
