Three out of control bonfires kept fire crews busy over the bank holiday weekend.

On Monday, around 4pm, firefighters were called to The Pinnock, in Pluckley to deal with a fire that had spread to a nearby fence.

The fire service also attended a bonfire in Darnley Road, Rochester, on Sunday night around 10.20pm, after it became out of control and spread to a fence.

Emergency workers found garden waste and rubbish burning and said the size of the fire was too big for the garden.

Around an hour earlier, at 9pm, fire officers were dealing with a similar incident in Cuxton Road, where a fire in the garden was too large and had got out of control.

The fire service advises building bonfires well clear of buildings, fences, sheds and hedges and keeping them to a manageable size and evenly constructed so they fall inwards as they burn.

They should never be left unattended.
