An electrical fire in a flat roof on North Foreland Road in Broadstairs required the attendance of four fire engines on Saturday, October 11, 2025. Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) was called to the scene at 09:08, with crews remaining in attendance until 15:11 to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
Firefighters used specialised access and cutting equipment to gain entry to the flat roof structure where the blaze was located. A high-pressure hose-reel jet was then deployed to suppress and extinguish the fire. The cause of the incident was investigated and is believed to have been accidental, attributed to faulty wiring. KFRS confirmed that there were no reported injuries as a result of the fire.
