People have been warned to keep their windows and doors shut for a third day as firefighters continue to monitor a haystack blaze.

The inferno broke out near Brambledown farm shop on Lower Road, Minster on Wednesday (August 9).

Three engines and a bulk water carrier were called to the scene at about 1.30pm.

Crews were able to get the fire under control at 8.35pm and started a watching brief to ensure the fire did not reignite.

However, one fire engine remains at the scene as crews continue to monitor the fire.

Residents of Lower Road are also being told to keep their windows closed due to the amount of smoke still being produced.

Kent Fire and Rescue service asks that people share information with loved ones in the affected area who may not have access to the internet.
