Firefighters have tackled a blaze which broke out in a chimney in Tunbridge Wells today.

Crews were called just before 1pm to the incident in Romford Road, Pembury.

One pump was used to extinguish the flames and a thermal imaging camera was used to identify a number of hot spots in the chimney.

Engines left the scene at 1.26pm.

The national Fire Brigade Union strike began on Friday and will continue until tomorrow, meaning less engines and staff are available to attend calls.

The fire service has attended a range of other calls across the county today including a number regarding automatic fire alarms in Tonbridge, Westerham, Goudhurst and West Malling.
