Arosn probe after flat fire in Bognor Regis

The experts are investigating the cause of the blaze in Glamis Street. More than 20 firefighters were called to the scene just after 4.30pm on Saturday (July 4).

The fire was in a first floor flat in the two-storey building. Almost three-quarters of the flat was damaged by the flames and the heat.

A ground floor flat in the same property suffered 10 per cent damage by smoke and water.

The fire crews from Bognor and Chichester carried out a search of both floors when they arrived to make sure no one was trapped in the property.

They cut away and damped down the affected areas. It took 40 minutes before the fire was declared to be out.
