The cause of a blaze at a dis-used warehouse is being investigated as suspicious.

Fire crews were called to the Barwick Road and Poulton Close area of Dover at about 9pm last night after flames were seen in a building between the two streets.

A small quantity of tyres and rubbish was alight inside the derelict warehouse.

Firefighters in two appliances used a hose reel jet and breathing apparatus to deal with the fire.

Crew Manager Jamie Muddle said: "The call was originally for Whinless Road but when they got there they found out it was between Barwick Road and Poulton Close.

"They were there for about an hour and a half. The cause is being investigated."
