Several people called East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service from 4.39pm after seeing what they thought was smoke coming from the helipad.
Others saw a bright light coming from the top of the building.
But by 4.55pm, firefighters had established that all that was escaping from the roof was steam.
A spokeswoman said: “We have classed this as a false alarm with good intent.”
