A fuel tanker exploded on an industrial estate Medway last night (Sunday).

Firefighters were called to the scene on Laker Road, behind Rochester airport, after receiving a report of a fire.

When crews arrived around 10.30pm they found the vehicle engulfed in flames and exploding.

They tackled the flames and explosions for more than an hour and prevented the fire spreading to another tanker nearby.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue said the cause of the fire is unknown.

No one was injured in the incident.
