Arsonists are believed to have started a small fire which threatened to spread though a derelict house.
Flames were spotted shooting out of the building in Robinson Road, Crawley, yesterday afternoon.
Firefighters put out the fire before checking the property, which has previously been occupied by squatters.
No one was injured.
