Wrens Road Blaze in Sittingbourne Finally Extinguished
A large field fire in Sittingbourne’s Wrens Road area has been brought under control after sending heavy smoke across nearby spots — including the busy M2 motorway between Junctions 5 and 6.
Residents Told to Keep Doors and Windows Shut

One fire engine and a dedicated crew battled the flames through the evening. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Smoke Clears, Road Reopens, and Investigation Continues
