Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to reports of a wildfire in Beechenlea Lane, Swanley.

Seven fire engines attended, as well as multi-terrain vehicles and a utility-terrain vehicle, and crews used foam and wildlife firefighting kit to extinguish the flames.

No injuries have been reported, and the cause is not yet known. 

To help reduce the risk of a wildfire this summer, remember:

• Not to throw smoking materials onto the ground
• Avoid lighting bonfires when the ground is likely to be extremely dry
• Only use disposable barbecues in authorised areas and make sure it's cold before putting it in a bin
• Always take rubbish home or use a bin, as litter such as reflective cans and glass can start fires
