Haywards Heath: Second blaze in three months at derelict property

The fire is in a derelict building near Haywards Heath

A derelict property near Haywards Heath in West Sussex has been badly damaged by fire for the second time.

Five appliances were sent to the scene at Bolnore Farm Lane, after a member of the public raised the alarm at 04:44 GMT on 18 January.

The same building was the scene of a similar blaze in November.

People living nearby are being advised to keep their doors and windows shut because of the large amount of smoke from the fire.

Neighbours are being warned to keep doors and windows shut

Firefighters are tackling the latest blaze from outside the building because it is too dangerous to enter.

An investigation will be launched once the structure has been made safe.
