A fire that completely destroyed a garden shed is thought to have been started deliberately.

Two fire engines attended the blaze in Pretoria Road, Gillingham around 3.30pm yesterday.

They had to use crowbars to gain access to the shed and extinguished the fire with a high pressure hose reel. The contents of the shed were also destroyed.

A KFRS spokeswoman said the crews believed the fire was suspicious and probably started deliberately.

Police officers also attended and are carrying out enquiries to establish the circumstances.
