A DISCARDED cigarette caused a fire scare in a small residential street in Horley's town centre after it set light to other material.
A fire crew from Horley Fire Station was scrambled to reports of a fire in Regent Mews at around 5.40pm yesterday. On arrival they discovered the cigarette had not been fully extinguished and had ignited other flammable material in a metal ashtray.
Firefighters doused the smouldering items to make the scene safe.
