Firefighters were called out when flames engulfed a roof.

Three engines and a height vehicle were sent out just before 5pm yesterday to Leicester Road in Maidstone.

Crews arrived to find the house roof fully alight.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used hose reel jets to put out the flames.

A spokesman for Kent Fire ad Rescue Service said: "No casualties were reported and the cause is believed to be accidental."

Crews left the scene just before 6.15pm.

KFRS' volunteer response team also attended along with South East Coast Ambulance Service.
