Multiple Vehicle Fire On Victoria Industrial Estate

A fire in the car park next to Meyle UK - in Consort Way, Victoria Industrial Estate - destroyed six vehicles this afternoon.

Among them was a company van belonging to VW Heritage and a classic VW Camper.

Staff from neighbouring company Flowserve were evactuated from their building as the fire crews doused down the side of their building and an air conditioning unit. Five fire appliances attended the incident with Sussex Police blocking off the surrounding roads to vehicles.

At 4pm staff were still out on the road with the fire and police services remaining on the scene.
