Josh Meaton, who captured the incident on video, said, "We were just passed on the A22 when we saw the smoke. When arrived we managed to call the fire brigade."

Fire crews rushed to the scene and used a hose reel jet to tackle the flames, which had spread to two 40ft containers with beds and mattresses inside.

A spokesperson for the fire service said, "Crews left the scene at 22.35. The fire was at the rear in the open and the building was not affected."

The fire was started deliberately, said East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Sussex Police has been contacted for further information.

No one was reported as harmed.
