Two dogs have died in a fire which destroyed a family home.

Fire crews were called to the home on Victory Drive in Kings Hill, near West Malling, which caught alight just before 8am this morning.

Watch as fire crews tackle the blaze.

Nobody else was injured.

Neighbour Zoe Goodman said she noticed the incident returning home from a walk.

She said: "I started to smell smoke at around 8am and looked out of my bedroom window to see intense smoke.

"It was smoking for a while and then the fire burst out around 8.20am. The roof collapsed about 10 minutes later, it's just so sad."

At the height of the blaze, which broke out on the first floor, four fire engines attended. The cause is not yet known.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service’s Volunteer Response Team has been deployed to provide support to the family-of-three who have lost everything.

Nearby St Gabriel's Church has also been helping to collect donations of clothing, towels and bedding.

Rev Montgomery from the church, which meets at the Discovery School, started a fundraising page which has so far raised more than £3,000.

He said: "The donations have been fantastic, to the point where the person storing them is now full. We're asking people to hold off just for the time being so we can find out if they need anything else. It's been a fantastic community response as there always is in Kings Hill."

Sonia Hutchinson, who has also be helping with donations said: "What the family needs right now is essentials such as food and clothes. We are using the power of the community, they are one of us and we need to look after them."
