FIREFIGHTERS from across north Kent have spent more than three hours tackling a huge blaze at a Swanscombe business park.

More than 50 fire fighters were called to the unit at the Manor Way Business Park Swanscombe on Monday morning at around 12.45am.

Two crews from Thames-side, two from Dartford and appliances from Swanscombe, Cliffe, Horton Kirby and Swanley discovered a large quantity of baled paper, a car and a lorry on fire.

At 4am the fire was scaled down to three fire appliances but crews are still at the scene as they continue to dampen down the area.

An investigation is expected to be launched.
