Crews wearing breathing apparatus used hose reel jets to put out the flames.

The team was battling with the electrical blaze for more than an hour.

Thankfully, no casualties were reported in the incident, which is believed to have started accidentally.

This was the second large fire to happen in the Ashford area yesterday, after three engines were called to a blaze near the M20.

The fire was at a machinery store in Sandyhurst Lane, a road that eventually runs over the carriageway.
