A pile of manure on fire in Swanley took firefighters hours to put out
Tonnes of manure that was on fire yesterday in Swanley took fire fighters four hours to get under control.
Crews were at the scene for four hours battling 300 tonnes of manure that was alight.
Two fire engines and a farmer worked together to break down the manure and let crews extinguish the fire.
The crew used farm machinery to dig into the pile of manure to allow better access a water carrier.
The manure was alight in Park Lane, Swanley from 4.35 until 8pm.
