A fire near to a gas supply sparked an emergency response in the early hours of this morning.

Firefighters were initially called to reports of hedges and fencing alight in Kennington Road, Willesborough.

The incident was near a domestic gas supply, and they discovered upon arrival at around 2.30am that it had spread to a detached domestic garage.

Crews wearing breathing apparatus used a high-pressure hose reel jet to put out the flames and a gas engineer was called to the scene.

Two engines attended the scene and breathing apparatus was also used.
