Firefighters are battling a fierce blaze involving hay bales on Church Road, Cobham, Gravesend. The Kent Fire and Rescue Service has been working tirelessly through the night to bring the fire under control. Residents are urged to steer clear of the area as emergency services continue their efforts.

The warning is especially critical for those without internet access – neighbours are encouraged to spread the word and keep the community safe.
