Fire crews have tackled a fire which broke out at a bus stop.

Video shows flames at the shelter on the Bridgefield estate in Ashford this afternoon.

One engine arrives and crews immediately start work to extinguish the fire.

The cause is not yet known.

A Kent Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said it “was called to Finn Farm Road in Kingsnorth, Ashford, at 12.24pm on January 20, to a small fire in a bin next to a bus stop.

“One fire engine attended, and the crew put the fire out with a hose reel jet. There were no reported injuries.”

The Bridgefield estate was previously branded a ‘no-go zone’, with Stagecoach temporarily suspending its service after youths pelted vehicles with eggs and other missiles.

In another incident, a teenager asked to drive a Stagecoach bus and, when he was denied, he threatened the driver.
