Charity shop fire

Fire fighters from Bexhill community station responded to an emergency call made by a resident of the building at 7.30pm on Sunday.

The blaze was discovered in a back room of the charity premises where it caused damage but did not spread further.

A spokesman said: "It was all contained in the back room - but the whole building smells of smoke."

The incident is being investigated by Sussex Police because it seemed a flammable object was thrown through a window into the room.
