Eugenius Birch's finest effort. Sad to see. Hope it can be rebuilt and obviously that no-one's hurt.
Even when not being perpetrated by competitive arsonists in seaside towns with two of them (ahem) piers have always been susceptible to fires: wooden decking, electricity cables etc.

It will end up like the West Pier if the insurers can get out of paying the claim with an exclusion in the small print.

Don't think anyone's hurt...
The only possible good thing that could come from this would be if Atlantis ended up in the bottom of the sea

Apparently it started in the arcade in the one of the walls and spread very quickly.

*Only reason I was listening to Heart FM was because i saw the smoke bellowing as I come over the hill near Eastbourne golf club. I'm a talksport man. Is that worse?
Edit: No one hurt thank god.

bit of an arse hat arent you? a pier on fire is an event to see whether a insurance scam or not. which it probably isnt, doesnt make alot of sence midday in July full of kids.
