Fire crews tackle blaze at barn in Sevenoaks Weald
Fire crews have been fighting a
major blaze in a Kent barn.
Around 20 firefighters were called to Hubbards Hill in the
Sevenoaks Weald at 10pm last night after 100 tonnes of straw caught
alight.
Four fire appliances and a water management unit fought the
blaze.
Four cows were led to safety and a nearby barn was cleared
of livestock.
Crews worked to prevent the fire from spreading, using hose reel
jets, a positive pressure ventilation fan, water from a nearby pond
and COBRA, a new fire fighting system.
The cause of the fire is not yet known. No-one has been
injured.
