Firefighters battled a mysterious blaze in the quiet village of Plaxtol this morning, as two sheds and a cluster of trees erupted in flames on The Street. The cause of the inferno remains unknown, sparking questions within the community.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service received the alarm just before 7:00am, deploying three fire engines and a bulk water carrier to the scene. Crews quickly got to work, utilising powerful main jets to extinguish the significant fire. They were able to leave the scene shortly before 7.45am.
Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries from the incident. However, the lack of an immediate explanation for how the sheds and trees caught fire has left a cloud of uncertainty over the picturesque Sevenoaks parish.
