From The Argus site...

A busy city-centre shopping centre is believed to have been evacuated because of a fire.

Two engines from Preston Circus Fire Station and one from Hove Fire Station were called to Churchill Square in Brighton at 8.33pm after reports of a fire.

Poice have also cordened off areas of West Street.

The Argus understands the fire was started at the O2 shop and there are fears it could have been caused by a gas explosion.

A Sussex Police spokesman said: "Police are liaising with the fire and rescue service team and have cordened off Churchill Square shopping centre.


"It is believed a gas cylinder was involved."
