Emergency crews were called to a blaze in Crawley last Tuesday.
The fire broke out in the early hours of the morning, causing severe damage to the property in Regents Close.
The ground floor flat was completely gutted by fire, with 10% of the first floor flat also suffering heat and smoke damage.
Meanwhile, later that morning, a driver had to be freed from his vehicle after it hit a bridge on the Northbound M23 after Junction 11 Pease Pottage.
Hydraulic equipment had to be used by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service to release the man, who was then taken to hospital by air ambulance.
