Transcript
00:00 Good morning everyone, my name is Area Manager Gary Ball from West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.
00:03 As you can see behind me, we attended a call this morning at 9am, a significant fire in the kitchen space of the building of the Harvester,
00:11 which has unfortunately spread to the roof space.
00:14 Our priority at the moment of course is to protect surrounding buildings, including the windmill centre,
00:19 which I'm pleased to say at the moment is being well protected by all crews in attendance.
00:23 When we arrived, the building had been fully evacuated and there have been no injuries on scene due to the fire today.
00:30 We have a number of resources here from many emergency services all working hard to try and put the fire out and as I've said, protect those neighbouring buildings.
