Shoreham High Street shop fire: two sent to hospital

A West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said that they were called at 4.02pm to reports that the Premier Express in High Street, Shoreham, was on fire.

Four fire engines were sent to the scene. According to a spokesman, the fire was in the basement but no-one was in the building.

The immediate area was evacuated so crews could tackle the fire, and Sussex Police closed off a section of the High Street, which is also the A259.
