Fire crews tackled a blaze at an industrial estate after a vehicle fire spread.

Four fire engines were called to the scene in Kingstanding Way, Tunbridge Wells, at 12.21pm where it is believed a vehicle caught alight and the flames spread to a nearby electrical substation.

The fire is now out and crews have left the scene, after using compressed air foam to cool any remaining hot spots.
