A fire broke out in the kitchen of a Gravesend family home this morning.

Crews used a high pressure hose reel to tackle the fire and cleared the smoke using a ventilation fan.
A woman was taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation along with two children for precautionary checks.
The kitchen and its contents suffered around 40 per cent damage by fire, smoke and heat.
