FIREFIGHTERS are tackling a blaze at Brighton Marina.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue was called at 9.45pm to deal with a fire in accommodation.
The fire is reported to be on the first floor of a building in Eastern Concourse.
A resident living opposite the blaze, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I saw someone being stretchered away, they were yelling and they seemed to be in a lot of pain.
“When I first saw the fire – at about 9.51pm – it must have been at its worst, the fire was engulfing the entire unit.
“It looks like the fire service has now got it under control.
"It looks like they’re knocking on people’s homes to make sure everyone’s out.
“At the moment, I can only see smoke.”
The service is asking people to avoid the area while six engines deal with the fire.
More as we have it.
