East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (ESFRS) was mobilised to respond to a bin lorry fire on Natal Road, just off Lewes Road in Brighton. The incident required the lorry to empty its five tons of waste onto the road. Once the fire is fully extinguished, a Brighton and Hove Council clean-up operation will commence, resulting in road closures for some time.
