Two people were taken to hospital after a small fire broke out in an airing cupboard.

Fire crews from Dartford and Swanley were called to a house in Leechcroft Avenue, Swanley at 10.30pm last night.

There were no smoke detectors in the property and a man and a woman had to be taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.

Firefighters left the home an hour later, after installing smoke detectors in the property.
