A FIRE set off stored fireworks last night at a shop in Horley.
Crews from Reigate, Horley and Crawley attended the SDG post office and off-licence, in Meath Green Lane, shortly before midnight yesterday to find two storage buildings behind the shop on fire.
One of the secured buildings had fireworks inside, which were set off by the flames.
Chris Hancock, landlord of nearby The Bull pub in Horley Row, witnessed the incident.
Mr Hancock said: "There was some fireworks going off but it seemed to be quite intense. At about 11.15pm I could see the glow well above the trees and obviously heard the fireworks going off."
No-one was hurt during the incident, which was also attended by Surrey Police.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown and is being investigated by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service.
