Firefighters were called to tackle a blazing bed in a Gravesend flat.

The occupant, a man his 50s, managed to escape when a fire broke out in the bedroom of the Valley Drive property on Tuesday.

Ten firefighters from Thames-side station spent half-an-hour at the scene soon after 2pm.

The bed went up in flames and the flat was badly smoke damaged, but no-one was injured.

Investigators were due to probe the cause of the fire.
