Fire crews battled a blaze at a house last night.

Friefighters fought the flames at a home on Princes Road in Dartford at 6.49pm after a deep fat fryer set alight.

The fryer was left unattended and spread to the hood of a cooker before crews arrived.

Two engines were in attendance and they used a fire bucket to extinguish the flames.

A man was treated for minor smoke inhalation by officers at the scene.

A high pressure fan was used to rid the home of any smoke.

Crews left the scene at 7.04pm.
