Two large 'portable storage buildings' caught fire on what is thought to be farmland in Kemsley.

It filled the sky with huge plumes of thick black smoke that could be seen as far away as Sheppey.

Three fire engines were sent to the scene, just after 5pm, and police diverted traffic to ensure the safety of motorists.

The buildings were said to be not in use and a Kent Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said no one was injured.

Crews needed to wear breathing gear to tackle the blaze and were at the scene for more than 90 minutes.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.
