Firefighters have tackled a blaze in the bedroom of a holiday villa near Canterbury.

Two crews were called to the property in Canterbury Road, Barham, at 9.40am.

It is thought the fire had been smouldering undetected for several hours in the empty villa before spreading to a wardrobe.

The flames were hosed down by firefighters, who then used a thermal imaging camera to help damp down remaining hotspots.

The fire - believed to have started in an electricity fuse box - was contained to the bedroom, but the remainder of the property was smoke damaged.

There were no reported injuries.
