Four fire crews were tackling a blaze on a farm last night (Friday).

They used a 30ft (10m) ladder and high-pressure hoses to fight the flames off Wormdale Hill at Newington near Sittingbourne.

The blaze broke out in an outbuilding at 7.40pm.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue Service said: "We were called to reports of an outbuilding alight at a farm off Wormdale Hill in Newington.

"Four fire engines were sent to the scene and crews extinguished the flames using hose-reel jets.

"No injuries were reported. It’s believed the fire started accidentally."

A ventilation fan was also used to clear the building of smoke. The fire was out within an hour.
