Firefighters are tackling a blaze in a coppice near Coxheath.

Crews were called to the scene near Amsbury Road around 3pm this afternoon.

Fire crews from two engines are using hose reels and water from a hydrant to tackle the fire in an area measuring about 150m x 150m.

They are understood to remain at the scene.
