The operation to tackle a serious fire at Eastbourne Pier is
continuing.
As of 18.30, 80 firefighters are at the scene and it is expected they will be there for several hours.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus have been on the Pier and access has been gained from the end of the Pier as efforts continue to stop the fire spreading further along the structure.
We are working with other emergency services and agencies
including Sussex Police, the Coastguard, the RNLI and South East Coast
Ambulance.
Sussex Police are advising members of the public to avoid
the area.
A further update will appear on our website at 20.00.
