Firefighters were called after a roof at a house caught fire.

Crews were called at around 6.02pm yesterday to the property in Colyer Road in Gravesend.

Two fire engines were sent and a small fire in a loft was discovered.

Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire due to the loft space being very organised, allowing them good access.

The cause is believed to be accidental.

Following the incident, crews stressed the importance of keeping loft spaces organised and uncrowded.

It can make access much easier for firefighters when salvaging any valuable items and extinguishing fires.
