Following a fire in Chatham, firefighters are reminding the public to be cautious when having a bonfire. Three fire engines responded to reports of a bonfire that had gotten out of control, causing fire to spread to an adjacent garden, shed, and house wall.
Crews used a main jet and hose reel jets to extinguish the blaze, preventing fire damage inside the home. KFRS’ technical rescue team also arrived, along with a local authority building officer, to assess the property and ensure its structural integrity after heat damage to an external wall.
