Firefighters tackled another blaze at the former MidKent College campus in Rochester, yesterday, Sunday, evening.

A large workshop on the City Way site went up in flames at about 6pm. A total of 36 firefighters were called out to tackle the fire.

An investigation into the cause of the blaze is taking place.
