Fire crews have been called out to a tower block on numerous occasions in the past week.

Invicta House, in Millmead Road, Margate, has been a continual cause of concern thanks to an ever-expanding list of reported fires.

Yesterday emergency services arrived at the 14-storey building on two occasions to deal with separate blazes.
