Kent Fire and Rescue Service were called to reports of a fire in a living room at a house in Gore Road, Sandwich

Two fire engines attended and crews extinguished a small fire using hose reel jets. 

No injuries were reported. 

It’s believed the fire was caused accidentally after a candle was left on top of a log burner. 

When lighting candles at home, make sure they are fitted in a suitable candle holder and placed on a non-flammable surface. Also, remember not to leave them unattended.
