No one was reported injured and the cause is believed to be accidental.

This follows a previous fire in Sheerness, at outbuildings in Leysdown-on-sea, which occurred at about quarter past eleven on Thursday 4th May.

There were no casualties and the emergency services have said residents close to the fire can now open their windows again.
