A 20 year old man from Gravesend has been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life and is currently in police custody.

It is the second fire in Harmer Street this week.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is unknown, but will be jointly investigated by KFRS and Kent Police.
