Firefighters fought a small blaze in the roof space at a medical centre in Maidstone last night.

The fire in the first floor at the Blackthorn Trust in St Andrew's Road, Barming, started at around 9.30pm, and left some of the roof space smoke damaged.

Fire crews used two hose reel jets; breathing aparatus and a hydrant to tackle it and used a ventilation fan to push the smoke ouf of the windows, extinguishing it by around 10.15pm.

It is understood police are investigating the cause.
