Firefighters were called to a flat in Chatham after a TV went up in flames.

Crews needed to wear breathing gear to enter the property and had to give oxygen to a person inside who was suffering from smoke inhalation.

It happened in Jenkins Dale at around 6.40pm.

Two crews were sent to the scene.

A fire spokesman said: "Upon arrival, they discovered smoke issuing from the premises and entered wearing breathing apparatus to tackle the fire using a high-pressure hose reel jet.

"The occupant of the flat was treated by crews with oxygen therapy for the effects of breathing in smoke.

"The cause is not currently known."
