Fire crews battle vehicle fire at Shell garage near A27

Smoke could be seen billowing from the fire at the Shell petrol garage in Arundel Road in Fontwell, with flames shooting into the air.

Firefighters from West Sussex Fire and Rescue are at the scene of the incident.

Restrictions have been put in place along part of the A27 as the emergency services tackle the fire, causing some traffic in the nearby area.

Fire crews from Bognor, Chichester and Littlehampton have been called to the incident

A spokeswoman for the fire service said: "At 1.37pm, we were called to a vehicle fire at Arundel Road in Fontwell.

"Fire engines from Bognor Regis, Chichester and Littlehampton were sent to the scene.

"Upon arrival, crews found one car on fire and firefighters are currently extinguishing the blaze using a compressed air foam system."

It comes just over three years after another fire gutted the petrol station, when a campervan fire spread to other areas of the site.
