A skip was set alight on the driveway of a home.

Firefighters from Roedean Fire Station were called to the blaze at the front of a home in Longridge Avenue in Saltdean at just before 00.45am this morning.

It toook "crews" 45 minutes to extinguish a single skip? What did they do, try and blow it out like a candles on a birthday cake? The headline for this one should be "Roedean Firefighters in Brazen Overtime Scam"
