East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is making steady progress with demolition experts at the scene of the fire in Portslade.
Around 25 per cent of the building has now been taken down following the fire which began yesterday morning at Chandlers Building Supplies.
Two fire engines are on scene to ensure that all remaining pockets of fire and hot spots are dealt with.
This is creating some further smoke in the area and locals are advised to continue to keep doors and windows closed.
The operation is likely to continue into the weekend.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
