A fire has erupted at Eastbourne Pier after one of the arcade buildings caught light at the popular seaside resort.
Six fire engines are at the scene battling the blaze after police evacuated scores of tourists and beachgoers from the attraction.
Three lifeboats have also been launched amid reports some people may have leapt from the pier into the sea.
Dave Clarke, a witness, told Sky News: "The front of the pier is totally alight. Smoke is going hundreds of feet into the air and is being blown down the beach. It is totally out of control at the moment.
"There are helicopters overhead and they have closed the roads off down here.
"There are lifeboats to make sure there is nobody stuck at the end of the pier."
He added: "I was just walking along and getting an ice-cream for my boy when I saw smoke coming out the main building.
"People are relatively calm, but shocked."
