Two men have been taken to hospital with severe burns after a petrol tank they were decommissioning exploded.
Contractors were working on the site at Churchdale Road, Eastbourne, when the explosion happened.
Fire crews evacuated the area as a precaution.
A brigade spokeswoman said crews sprayed foam in to the tank to stop any more petrol from igniting.
