Beach huts and fridge freezer fires in Hastings

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service crews from Bohemia Road and The Ridge fire stations responded to multiple calls about the beach huts on Cinque Port Way, St Leonards, at 5.45am.

One of the huts was completely destroyed with the neighbouring huts suffering severe damage.

Later at 4.35pm, fire crews from The Ridge and Bexhill were alerted to a fire at a property on Gensing Road with the initial call claiming people were trapped.

But on arrival crews confirmed everyone was accounted for.

There was a small fire in the fridge freezer and crews used two breathing apparatus and one Co2 extinguisher, with firefighters carrying out a home safety visit afterwards.
