Two people were treated for burns after several boats caught fire in a marina.

The River Medway was closed to traffic shortly after the blaze began in Hampstead Marina in Yalding near Maidstone at midday.

Multiple boats were on fire and smoke could be seen pouring from close to the lock.

Three fire engines and a bulk water carrier were called to the scene.

Two people were treated by paramedics taken to hospital. One suffered burns while the other was treated for smoke inhalation.

One witness said the fire was sparked by an explosion from one of the vessels, all of which were moored at the side of the water.

Earlier advice to avoid the Hampstead Lane marina area in Yalding near Maidstone has been lifted, although the River Medway remains closed to traffic.
