Residents were evacuated after a fire broke out in a house in Dorset Gardens this morning.
Everyone from the house got out safely, and firefighters cut away flooring to tackle the blaze, which started in a void between floors.
An investigation into what caused the fire is yet to be undertaken.
A spokeswoman for East Sussex Fire and Rescue said: “Crews from Preston Circus attended a property on Dorset Gardens, Brighton at 7.22am.
“Appliances sent to attend the scene were an Extended Rescue Pump Ladder, Water Tender and Aerial Ladder Platform. All residents were evacuated safely from the property.
“The fire started in a void between the first and second floor. Firefighters cut away flooring and the fire was extinguished.
