Smoking compost heap causes fence fire in Montgomery Avenue, Chatham

A compost heap is thought to have been the cause of a fence fire during the early hours of this morning.

Firefighters were called out to Montgomery Avenue, in Chatham, after a fire broke shortly after 2am.

It is thought the fire had ignited because a compost heap nearby combusted and slowly set the panels alight.
