"Fire" at Brighton's Palace Pier
10:27am Tuesday 15th November 2011 in News
Brighton's iconic Palace Pier is on "fire" - but don't worry, it is just a training exercise.
Dozens of people reported smoke rising from the listed landmark about 10am this morning.
Witnesses said more than a dozen fire engines are involved in the incident which has been confirmed as a training exercise by a spokeswoman for East Sussex Fire and Rescue.
The Victorian attraction is currently on the market but no buyer has yet been found.
