Firefighters spent more than an hour tackling a shed fire after a bonfire spread out of control.

Two fire crews, from Worthing and Littlehampton, were called to douse the flames at 8.40pm this evening.

Flames spread from the bonfire in Langbury Lane in Ferring, near Worthing, across part of a garden and onto the shed.

West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said no-one was hurt but the shed was destroyed.

They issued warning to people to take care with bonfires when there was strong wind and make sure they always had a bucket of water to hand.

Fat lot of good a bucket of water would do... Anyway, with amenity tips available, why have a bonfire? They smoke everybody out and give off loads of toxins. They should be banned anyway, as they are a nuisance to all and a health hazard.

i agree, bonfires should be banned, why people have them in the summer is a mystery to me, when you have your windows open ect...
