Firefighters called to barn blaze in Bethersden Road, Shadoxhurst, near Ashford
14:31, 09 November 2024
Five fire engines spent more than two hours tackling a barn blaze.
Crews were sent to Bethersden Road in Shadoxhurst, Ashford, at around 12.40am today (November 9).
At the height of the blaze, five fire engines and a bulk water carrier were at the scene.
A processing barn containing timber, a tractor and two trailers were damaged.
Crews wearing breathing apparatus used jets, compressed air foam and a fog spike to fight the flames.
A fog spike is a tool used to punch holes into a structure and deliver water to the inside – dramatically reducing the spread of a fire.
After more than two hours, at around 2.45am, the blaze was extinguished.
There were no reported injuries and the cause is believed to be accidental.
