An out of control bonfire spread to a large amount of scaffolding, sparking an emergency response.

Fire crews were called to the blaze near Chilmington Green in Ashford just before 9am this morning.

Two fire engines attended and crews used a hose reel jet to extinguish the blaze, which had spread from a small rubbish skip to a large amount of scaffolding.

Following the incident, firefighters are urging the public to take extra care when having a bonfire.

A fire service spokesman said: "Remember to build your bonfire well clear of buildings, garden sheds, fences, hedges and overhanging branches.

"Keep it to a manageable size and make sure it is evenly built so it collapses inwards as it burns."
