Kent Fire and Rescue Service responded to a barn fire in Halden Lane, Rolvenden, near Tenterden early this morning.
At the height of the incident, three fire engines and a bulk water carrier were deployed to the scene. Firefighters used high-pressure hose reel jets to extinguish the flames.
The fire is now under control, and the response has been scaled back to one fire engine. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, but the cause of the fire remains unknown.
A spokesperson for Kent Fire and Rescue Service stated: “Our crews worked efficiently to bring the fire under control. The bulk water carrier was particularly useful in ensuring a steady supply of water to tackle the flames effectively.”
Local residents reported seeing thick smoke in the area, but emergency services quickly assured them that the situation was being managed.
Authorities are conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the fire. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service has urged the public to avoid the area to allow the remaining fire crews to work safely and efficiently.
