A woman had a lucky escape after her e-cigarette exploded, setting fire to her flat.

Firefighters were called to the flat on Green Lane Close in Arundel at 12.40am on Sunday after the occupier was woken by her smoke detector and called 999.

The fire is believed to have started when the e-cigarette, which had been purchased from a market stall without instructions or packaging, was left charging overnight.
