Firefighters have been tackling a blaze at a Dartford processing plant this morning.

Two fire engines were called to the plant in Pearson Way shortly after 8am, with the flames found in an on-site metal hopper.

Crews equipped with breathing apparatus used a main jet and a hose reel to bring the fire under control. It was extinguished at just before 8.45am.

A positive pressure ventilation fan was then used to clear smoke within the building.
