Two dogs have been rescued from a house fire, which is thought to have been started deliberately.

Firefighters were called to the blaze in the two-storey home in Dane Hill Row, Margate, just before 5.30pm.

Crews wearing breathing apparatus tackled the fire with a high-pressure hose.

The pets were taken to safety, and no one was injured.

The fire is thought to be suspicious and is under investigation.

Emergency services had left the scene by 6pm.
