East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is asking people near a wood recycling centre on the Hailsham Road outside Polegate to close doors and windows.
Crews were called to the Cophall Wood area at 1.11pm on 30 April 2025.
There was a fire in a skip in a waste sorting area and water was applied prior to the crews arrival.
There continues to be smoke in the area.
A dry agent will now be used to completely put out any remaining smoldering material.
Any type of smoke can be an irritant and we are asking people to avoid the area, and keep doors and windows closed.
UPDATE: We left the scene around 2.30pm.
