A woman has been treated for smoke inhalation, and tiles were removed from a roof, after a blaze broke out at a bungalow in Edenbridge.

A woman, believed to be in her 40s, was given oxygen by firefighters after suffering from the effects of breathing in smoke.

Crews needed to wear breathing apparatus to tackle the flames using hoses and a fan.

They also removed roof tiles to expose the loft space to check for fire spread.

The blaze was brought under control at around 5.30pm.
