Firefighters tackle Northfleet van fire
THREE fire crews were called to deal with a burning van in Northfleet this morning (May 9).
The call came in just after midnight and the vehicle was well alight when crews from Thames-Side and Swanscombe arrived.
They spent around 30 minutes dealing with the fire in the car park of the block of flats in Wallis Park.
Usually only one crew is needed for a vehicle fire but a Kent Fire and Rescue spokesman says three crews are always sent to incidents at the block of flats.
