A person was treated for shock after an incinerator sparked a garden blaze.

Two fire engines were called to deal with the fire at a property in Dane Mount, Margate, at 7.35pm on Monday.

It is believed a spark from an outdoor incinerator caused three sheds, fencing and conifer trees to catch alight.

Firefighters administered first aid to one person who was suffering from shock.

Following the incident, a spokesperson for Kent Fire and Rescue said: “We are reminding people to always make sure any outdoor fire is positioned well away from buildings, garden sheds, fences, hedges, and overhanging branches.

“And, always make sure the fire is completely out before being left unattended.”
