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.
