FIREFIGHTERS dealt with four calls to fires within 45 minutes of one another in a busy evening in Brighton and Hove.

The first call was at 7.30pm to reports of a fire on the roof of the Rotunda Cafe in Preston Park which was attended by a crew from Preston Circus Fire Station.

Crews quickly extinguished the blaze on the roof of the cafe at the park and fire investigators are working to establish the cause.

The fire engine at Preston Park then received a call to rush to the Glenwood Lodge Hostel, on Grand Parade, just over a mile away.

A fire had broken out on the second floor and crews attended with fears there may be vulnerable people in the property.

However the fire was put out by the sprinkler system at the block as crews arrived.

Reportedly someone has been arrested in connection with this blaze.

Elsewhere in the city a crew from Hove was drafted in to deal with a fire in a bin.

However at 8.15pm firefighters were called to another fire behind the Westham flats in Whitehawk Road.

Some wooden fence panels on the roof of a garage block had caught fire and investigators from East Sussex Fire and Rescue are working to establish the cause.
