Three fire crews were called to flats in Gravesend early this morning after a resident discovered smoke billowing into a communal area.

Firefighters arrived at the block in Homemead Close at 1.20am and discovered the source of the smoke was a small electrical blaze in a cupboard.

Wiring had melted and after it was determined the fire had not spread crews passed care over to UK Power Networks and left the address shortly before 3am.

There were no reported injuries.
