A man had to be treated after breathing in smoke when a mobile home caught light in the early hours of this morning.

Firefighters raced to the scene in Hawkhurst Road, Cranbrook, after the alarm was raised shortly before 3.45am.

Crew members wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel jet, compressed air foam and a main jet to put out the blaze.

The residents were not home when the fire broke out, but a neighbour who alerted the fire service, had to be treated by paramedics after breathing in the smoke.

The cause of the fire is not known.
