A man accidentally burnt his shed down after putting smouldering logs from a chimnea back in his wood store.

Firefighters say the home owner was embarrassed to have to call them out after the blunder, which destroyed his shed on Sunday morning.

Crews were called just before 7.30am to the scene in Parker Close, Gillingham, where they were faced with a well established fire.

They extinguished the blaze before dampening down the remains of the shed and helping to clear up.
