Thick smoke all the way up Benfield Valley, major incident by the looks of it.

Yes. Just on Hove seafront now. Plumes of smoke drifting towards the city. Must have seen about five fire engines going in that direction. Going to take awhile to put it out

Looks to me that it must be where the timber merchants / magnet place is toward the East end of the basin opposite the petrol station. Wind blowing a steady Southerly so the smoke is covering Mile Oak and Hangleton too.

That wasn't a bad geographical guess Bold!

I work in the harbour and just had a call to say hang off for now. I've started working at home. Not sure how long it's all going to be closed off.

Hazardous materials police moving bystanders away. Told to get indoors shut Windows.

It is Hove, actually. Think of my property price.

Buzz On Boundary, an ever reliable source of local facts and news reporting it as an explosion followed by intense fire. Sirens still going.

Still huge plumes of smoke coming from it, I'm up near Old Shoreham Road and it is thick smoke travelling north. Still emergency vehicles racing to the site.
