West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, in a social media post shortly after 6pm, said crews are ‘currently tackling a house fire’ in Highwood Crescent, Horsham.
"Due to heavy smoke local residents are advised to keep doors and windows closed,” a fire service spokesperson said.
"We currently have four pumps in attendance.”
Two crews from Horsham, one from Crawley and one from Billingshurst were sent to the scene after a call around 5.30pm.
Updates to follow as and when we get them.
