Up to 100 firefighters tackled a massive blaze that ripped through a tyre centre near Chichester last night.
Teams from across West Sussex and Hampshire were called in to fight the flames.
The cause of the fire was under investigation today.
The blaze started at Selsey Tyre Clinic, Sidlesham, at about 11pm.
By midnight 100 firefighters were on the scene to deal with the searing temperatures and raging flames.
Environmental health officers were also on hand to deal with contamination problems associated with the burning rubber.
More than 2,500 litres of foam was used to put out the fire and neighbouring properties were protected with water jets.
