Firefighters believe they have extinguished flames this afternoon in a house on the sea-front in Hove.
According to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, a fire was seen around 1.20pm in the cavity of a 5-story property in Brunswick Terrace.
Eight engines and the aerial ladder platform had attended by 2.25pm.
But, by 3.15pm, firefighters said they were "scaling back" their operations.
Incident Commander Chris Baker said:
"Crews worked really hard to locate and extinguish the fire to stop it travelling further through the cavities of the building.
"They are now cutting away to ensure all hot spots are dealt with."
At the height of the incident, eight fire engines, the aerial ladder platform and Control Unit were in attendance.
A multi-agency approach was taken with support from the Hazardous Areas Response Team from SECAmb.
Eight breathing apparatus, 3 hose reel, 1 main jet and 1 hydrant were used.
An investigation has opened into the cause of the blaze.
