Emergency crews received reports of the fire at 13:35. In response, four fire engines and a specialized height vehicle were deployed to the scene. Firefighters, equipped with breathing apparatus, used high-pressure hose reel jets and main jets to suppress the flames and prevent further spread to neighbouring properties.

The incident involved a multi-agency response, with Kent Police and the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) providing essential support on-site. No injuries were reported by residents or emergency personnel. The cause of the fire is not yet known, and an investigation will be conducted to identify the point of origin.
