Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to reports of a fire in a derelict building in Royal Esplanade, Ramsgate.

Four fire engines attended and crews wearing breathing apparatus used hose reel jets to extinguish a small fire, before using a high-pressured fan to clear the building of smoke.

No injuries were reported, and it’s believed the fire was started deliberately.

Duty of care was left with Kent Police.
