A blaze in a car park saw firefighters called to a residential city centre street.

Three fire engines were sent to Creine Mill Lane, Canterbury, shortly before 7pm yesterday to tackle flames coming from an electrical box.

Crews from Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) wearing breathing apparatus used dry powder to extinguish the fire and were able to leave the scene at about 8.30pm.

There were no reported injuries as a result of the blaze.

KFRS service says the cause of the fire is not yet known but is being investigated.

An electrical safety engineer from UK Power Networks also attended the scene, and it is understood the fire may have affected the electricity supply to a small number of properties in the area.
