A fire broke out at a coffee producing factory in Dartford, destroying 50kg of coffee.

Fire crews were called to Gala Coffee Ltd in Riverside Industrial Estate, Riverside Way, at 8.45pm on Friday evening (March 27).

A small fire had started in a coffee bean roaster.

Workers at the factory were evacuated as the blaze was dealt with, while Kent Fire and Rescue Service remained on the scene for just over an hour.

A fire broke out at the same industrial estate two weeks ago, on March 12, when material in a recycling compaction machine burst into flames.
