A COMMUNITY centre in Brighton has opened for a third day to help those affected by a massive fire at a block of flats.
Around 50 people were put up in temporary accommodation on Friday night after the massive blaze in Pankhurst Avenue, Brighton.
Ten fire crews spent the whole night trying to put out the fire after initially being called at 8.30pm.
Dramatic images show the residential building engulfed in flames, with the entire top floor of the three-storey block ablaze.
No one was injured.
The Edge Community Centre is open again today until 4pm with residents, council staff and Guinness Partnership liaison officers there and ready to help and support anyone affected by the fire.

The council has also arranged for mental health specialists skilled in supporting people experiencing shock and anxiety.
The cause of the fire is still not known.
Landlord Guinness Partnership said it was still not safe for residents to return to their flats.
