Firefighters were called to deal with an oven fire on Christmas Day.

They wnet to Osborne Road in Willesborough at 1.40pm.

Crews were on the scene in four minutes after receiving the emergency call.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus went into the house but found the fire was already out.

They used a positive pressure ventilator fan to clear smoke from the property and left the scene at around 2pm.

The exact cause of this incident is not so far confirmed but Kent Fire and Rescue Service says that more than half of accidental fires at home start in the kitchen.

General advice from the brigade is to keep ovens, hobs and grills clean as a buildup of fat and foodstuffs can start a fire.

Householders should also not store any items on hobs in ovens or grill or dry items in ovens or grills.
