Fire crews from Chichester and Bognor Regis were called to a blaze at a derelict property in Terminus Road last night (July 6).
A spokesperson for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service said: “We were called to reports of a fire involving a derelict building on Terminus Rd in Chichester at 9.45pm.
“Joint Fire Control mobilised two fire engines from Chichester and two from Bognor Regis to the scene.
“Upon arrival crews found the building well alight. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus quickly brought the fire under control using two high pressure hose reels, two covering jets and a fog nail.
