Police sealed off a city street amid fears of a fire in a block of flats only for it to turn out to be burnt cooking.

Emergency services were called to Livingstone House in Clarendon Road, Hove, at 10.30pm yesterday after reports of smoke coming from one of the apartments.

When firefighters arrived they quickly discovered the call was a false alarm and spoke to the residents whose kitchen had caused the problem.
