East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service responded to a significant house fire in Maresfield this afternoon.

Crews were mobilised at 14:11 on 28 November after reports of a property alight in Cackle Street.

Eight fire engines and a command control unit were sent to the scene, with firefighters quickly deploying breathing apparatus and a high-pressure hose reel to bring the blaze under control. At this stage, there have been no reports of any injuries or anyone trapped inside the property.

Emergency teams continue to work in the area, and the service is urging members of the public to stay away from Cackle Street to allow crews to operate safely. Local roads are expected to remain partially closed while firefighting and safety checks continue.

Residents living nearby are being advised to keep doors and windows shut due to smoke in the area. The fire service says this precaution is especially important for those with respiratory conditions.

In an update issued at 15:40, East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that all eight crews and the control unit remain on site as efforts continue.
