Fire service tackles blaze at car dealership

Fire crews are continuing to tackle a blaze at a car dealership, emergency services say.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service said seven fire engines were sent to the incident at the Mercedes car garage in Sturry Road, Canterbury, but has since scaled the response back to one fire crew.

Nearby residents had been asked close their doors and windows due to heavy smoke in the area, but this advice has now been lifted.

No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation, the fire service added.

Kent Police said it was also in attendance, alongside UK Power Networks.
