The Sheppey Coastguard team was also sent to help.
No injuries were reported and crews left at 9.31pm.
Pictures show at least four firefighters securing the vehicle before it was attached to the fire engine.
It is understood the driver had a woman and child on board.
One eyewitness, who did not want to be named, said: "I personally think people need to use common sense, that way the emergency services can go where they are really needed."
