A fire ripped through a Swanscombe garage razing it to the ground.

Firefighters tackled the blaze in Gilbert Close last night (May 4) but unfortunately could not save the garage from being completely destroyed.

Two fire engines were at the scene just before 10.40pm with crews using breathing apparatus to extinguish the inferno which was out by 11.13pm. 

There were no reported injuries.
