FIRE crews were called to a flat last night after reports of a “dangerous structure” hanging off the building following Storm Eunice.

Crews from Eastbourne and Hastings dealt with a section of metal track dangling down from the third floor of Kinross Court in Upper Avenue, Eastbourne at 5.17pm yesterday.

A cordon was also put in place while East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (ESFRS) made the structure safe.

ESFRS left the scene at 6.20pm.

An ESFRS spokeswoman said: “At 17.17 three appliances, including an Aerial Ladder Platform, were sent to a property in Upper Avenue, Eastbourne, yesterday following reports of a dangerous structure.
