A woman has been treated for breathing in smoke after a bedroom fire.

Firefighters were called to the first floor of a house in Beaver Lane in Ashford shortly before midday.

They tackled the fire using a hose reel, and an occupant of the house was given oxygen therapy before being placed in the care of the ambulance service.

The crews left the scene shortly after 12.30pm. The cause of the blaze is believed to have been accidental.
