Firefighters tackled a blaze in a lean-to at the rear of a house in Gravesend yesterday (May 31).
The fire, in Wellington Street, Gravesend, was caused by use of a portable camping stove inside the building.
Wearing breathing apparatus, fire crews used a main jet and a hose reel jet to extinguish the flames, before clearing smoke and fumes from the premises.
They arrived at the scene at 3.10pm, and the incident was dealt with by 3.39pm.
There were no reports of any injuries and the cause is thought to have been accidental.
