Firefighters have tackled fires at two garages and a van in a residential road.

Crews were called to Lodge Hill Lane, Chattenden, near Rochester, shortly before 4.10pm yesterday (May 15).

At the height of the fire, four engines were at the scene.

The fire service advised people living or travelling near the route to close their windows and doors due to a large plume of smoke coming from the garage.

After spending around six hours fighting the flames, an update from the force said operations were complete.

The update, which came at 10pm yesterday, added that there were no reported injuries and the cause is not yet known.
