Several people called East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service from 4.39pm after seeing what they thought was smoke coming from the helipad.

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.”
