Firefighters attended a blaze in a building annexe last night after a passing motorist saw flames coming from the premises.

The blaze in a single-storey building in The Street, Womenswold, near Canterbury, is thought to have been caused by an electrical fault in a laundry room.

The fire service used breathing apparatus and a hose reel jet to tackle the flames, and then a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear smoke and fumes from the property.

The fire was reported at 7.24pm and crews were able to leave at 8.37pm.

There were no injuries.
