A wooden storage room used for making fences has been completely gutted by fire this afternoon.

Crews were called to the blaze in Main Road, Sellindge, at 1.16pm.

Four fire engines were sent to the blaze after fire started at the single-storey storage room.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue Service said the 10m by 15m room of wooden construction used for storage and fence making was completely destroyed.

At its height, firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a main jet supplemented with hose reels and a water shuttle from a nearby hydrant.

Several buildings in the vicinity were affected by the fire, the fire service said.

No injuries have been reported and the cause is yet to be identified.

Crews brought the blaze under control by 3pm and were expected on the scene until at least 4pm to damp down.
