Five fire engines spent more than two hours tackling a barn blaze.

Crews were sent to Bethersden Road in Shadoxhurst, Ashford, at around 12.40am today (November 9).

At the height of the blaze, five fire engines and a bulk water carrier were at the scene.

A processing barn containing timber, a tractor and two trailers were damaged.

Crews wearing breathing apparatus used jets, compressed air foam and a fog spike to fight the flames.

A fog spike is a tool used to punch holes into a structure and deliver water to the inside – dramatically reducing the spread of a fire.

After more than two hours, at around 2.45am, the blaze was extinguished.

There were no reported injuries and the cause is believed to be accidental.
