Firefighters were sent to a 'controlled burn' in Lancing over concerns about fumes it was creating, according to the fire service.

A spokesman for West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said they were called to Curvins Way, Lancing, at 4.23 after a member of the public was concerned about fumes coming off a 'controlled burn' there.
