A fire crew rushed to a block of flats after it was reported a smoke alarm was going off.

The crew from Folkestone headed for Irene Astor Court in St John's Street, Folkestone, at 5.30am today.

But on arrival, their services were not needed.

A press spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue said: "The crew did a visual inspection but there was no further on our part.

"They didn't put anything out."

Crews left the scene at 5.40am.
