Firefighters helped remove flood water from an elderly disabled woman’s home in Deal last night.

One appliance attended Trinity Place at 7.13pm where there was flooding through the rear of a property.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue said: “We had a number of flood calls yesterday. The main one for Deal was to Trinity Place.

“Firefighters used a Grindex pump to pump water from the home of an elderly, disabled woman.”

They left the scene just after 9pm.

Deal’s part-time firefighters were called out to Ripple at the same time.

They pumped away two feet of water from a home in Sunnyside Close, leaving at 8.15pm.
