The earthquake in Haiti has triggered a heroic response in Kent.

In this week's Kent Messenger we talk to Maidstone firefighters who were sent out there to help the search and rescue operation in the rubble of the capital, Port-Au-Prince, and the surrounding area. We also have a tribute to UN worker Frederick Wooldridge, from West Peckham, who died in the earthquake.

Also in this week's KM:

• Binmen refused to collect a disabled pensioner's rubbish bin until she had dragged it just a few feet from her drive on to a public footpath - while they stood and watched.
• The sensational YouTube video of a boy leaping on top of a bus at the Chequers Bus Station in Maidstone
• The campaign to stop full maternity services in Maidstone goes to Downing Street
• We take an exclusive tour of a secret nuclear bunker hidden underneath the County Town
• Plus much more
