A garage fire in Margate is believed to have started accidentally today (May 7) after a lithium-ion battery charger caught alight.

Three fire engines attended Broadley Road just before 5pm and crews wearing breathing apparatus used hose reel jets to extinguish the flames.

A smoke curtain was also used to prevent the smoke from travelling into the main property.

No injuries were reported. Crews finished at the scene at 6.25pm.
