Ramsgate blaze picture sent in by Michael Child

A woman fell from a first floor window during a flat fire in Ramsgate last night.

Eight fire engines were called out to Kennedy Flats on Newcastle Hill around 4.50am.

The woman was conscious and breathing after the fall, and fire crews dealt with the blaze.

Local snapper Samuel Rudd, 21, who took the picture left, said: "I'd got home from college at 4.45pm and my partner said there was loads of smoke outside.

"We looked outside and saw flames coming out of a window in Kennedy House.

"By the time we got there fire crews had stopped the flames and smoke was billowing out.

"There was a big crowd outside and the areas was cordoned off. I saw someone on a stretcher being treated by paramedics and also someone suffering an asthma attack.

"There was an engine here until late at night because they were boarding up the affected premises."
