Firefighters have issued an urgent safety warning ahead of Bonfire Night after a firework set a shed ablaze on Thursday night.
Crews were called to Turnstone in Longfield at 9.51pm after the firework hit the shed and set fire to external wooden cladding.
The owner tried to extinguish the flames using a dry powder extinguisher but firefighters took over and used a hose reel to put the fire out and cool the building. A thermal imaging camera was then used to check for fire spread.
With plenty of households set to stage their own fireworks displays to mark Bonfire Night, Kent Fire and Rescue has told people to be careful and follow its firework safety code to minimise risk of fire and injury.

Crews left the scene in Turnstone at 10.10pm.
