A fire which destroyed a garage in Ashford may have been caused by rodents chewing through an electrical cable, fire crews say.

Two fire engines were called to the blaze in Aylesbury Road, Kennington just after 1.30am this morning.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used hose reel jets to extinguish the flames and left the scene around two hours later.

A man suffered minor burns and was advised on first aid before being told to go to hospital.

The fire, which is believed to have started accidentally, has been linked to two possible causes.

Either rodents chewing through the electrical cables, or an electrical fault within a freezer.
