Firefighters were called to reports of a vapour leak from an underground fuel storage tank at a fuel filling station in Westwood Cross, Broadstairs.

Crews wearing breathing apparatus used firefighting foam and misting from high-pressure hose reels to help prevent the vapour spreading. A 50 metre cordon was set up around the scene as a precaution.

The cordon was shortly reduced to just the perimeter of the filling station once the risk decreased, however it will remain until engineers can arrive to repair the leaking valve.

One person was treated by paramedics after breathing in fumes from the vapour.
