Eastbourne firefighters were called the blaze in the ceiling of Jones Bootmaker in Terminus Road at around 10am.

However, according to a spokesperson for East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, the fire was out on the arrival of crews.

It had been caused by a light fitting, said the spokesperson.

Crews used a fan to aid ventilation and left the property in the hands of the manager.
