Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) has been actively responding to several weather-related incidents triggered by the impact of Storm Ciarán in the county. Between 11:30 pm on November 1 and 9:00 am on November 2, KFRS crews were called to address a series of storm-related emergencies across Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone, and Hythe.
The storm, which has brought powerful winds and heavy rain to the region, has prompted KFRS to deploy special support vehicles, including a technical rescue unit, to assist with various incidents arising from adverse weather conditions.
Among the incidents attended to by KFRS crews were reports of unsecured structures in Liden Crescent and Bonsor Road in Folkestone. In Canterbury, there was a report of sparking cables on Rusham Road in Shatterling. Additionally, the technical rescue unit was dispatched to remove a tree obstructing the main route on Kennington Road in Willesborough, Ashford.
