A huge fire in an open-sided outbuilding destroyed 10 tonnes of rubbish, mattresses and carpets.

Firefighters were called to the site in Cockering Road, Chartham, at around 4.20pm last night after a building measuring around 32ft by 32ft caught light.

The fire had already taken hold when crews arrived. They used breathing apparatus and jets to put out the flames.

Firefighters used beaters to put out the flames. Stock picture.
