Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to reports of a shed alight in Deansway Avenue, Canterbury. 

Two fire engines attended and crews extinguished the flames using a hose reel jet. 

No injuries were reported. 

It’s believed the fire started after a garden chiminea was placed too close to a wooden shed and caused it to catch alight. The flames also spread to an air conditioning unit. 

Firefighters are reminding people to ensure any outdoor fire, such as fire pits, chimineas and barbecues, are fully out and cooled before being left unattended, and to position them well away from any property, greenery, and fencing.
