One fire engine attended and firefighters wore breathing apparatus while they extinguished the flames with a hose reel jet.

Members from Thames-side Fire Station were called on again shortly after 5am to South Street in Meopham where a car was found alight.

Crews used a hose reel jet to put out the flames declaring the incident over within an hour.
