Shed Alight, Beagles Wood Road, Pembury

Retained units from both Matfield and Tunbridge Wells were called out to reports of a shed alight in Pembury at around 18.30hrs on Monday evening. Matfield were first in attendance where the shed was fully engulfed in flames and minutes away from catching light to the house due to it's close proximity. We used an extended hose reel to access the fire down an alley and deployed a main delivery to bring the fire under control. The flank wall of the house was red hot and UPVC window frames, soffits and fascias had started to pyrolise before the flames were extinguished. Residents in Beagles Wood Road had to wait just under an hour for road access in and out of the cul de sac.
