Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to reports of a fire at a commercial property in Kings Street, Margate.  

Two fire engines attended and crews, wearing breathing apparatus, used hose reel jets to put out the flames.

There were no reported injuries.

It’s believed the fire started in a tumble dryer. 

Following this incident, crews are reminding people to:

• Make sure appliances are in good working order before using them - for example a tumble dryer, dishwasher or washing machine and to make sure they are regularly maintained as instructed in the manufacturer’s guidelines. 
• Only run cycles when you’re home and awake and remember to have a working smoke alarm on each floor of your property.
