Two teenage girls suffered minor burns in a fire at a block of flats last night.

The pair were taken to hospital following the blaze on the ninth floor of a building in Square Hill, Maidstone.

Around 30 firefighters were called to the scene at about 9.10pm.

Once the blaze was under control, this was scaled back to around 10.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service said crews left the scene at about 9.30pm.
