Kent Fire And Rescue Service (KFRS) Firefighters dealt with a fire at a house in Peregrine Drive, Sittingbourne earlier today (Tuesday 15th January).

Fire crews were called at around 10.20am and had to wear breathing apparatus using two hose reel jets, a main jet and water from a local street hydrant to put the fire out.

The fire broke out in the roof space and affected the first floor of the two-storey terraced property.

There were no reported casualties and the cause of the fire is yet to be established.

North Street, in Milton Regis, was closed earlier today (Tuesday 24th January) in both directions at the junction with Milton High Street and Vicarage Road, following an incident where a car hit a house on Hawkins Close.

A spokeswoman for Kent Police told SFM News "[we] called at around 9.00am this morning after it was reported that a car had been involved in a collision with a house. Police officers and Kent Fire and Rescue Service were dispatched to the scene in North Street, Milton Regis."

Swale House, the home of Swale Borough Council, will be leaving one light switched on from 10 - 11pm tonight (Monday 4th August) when it supports the 'Lights Out' campaign tonight.

A single light will be based on the ground floor easily viewable from anyone walking or driving by the East Street offices at that time.

Cllr Andrew Bowles, Leader of Swale Borough Council told SFM News that this was just one of a number of events the Council will be supporting during the next four years in commemoration of World War One.
