Around 16 firefighters battled to put out a fire in a derelict building in Ramsgate.
They were called to the town's Haine Road after getting a 999 call at 4.14pm.
Four fire engines were initially sent to the scene and crews had to wear breathing gear as they tried to beat back the flames.
It took more than two hours to bring under control and crews were cutting away and damping down by 6.30pm.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, but police were also called to the scene.
