BOTH of Thames Side station's fire engines were used this morning.

One crew was called out to Gravesham Community Hospital, Bath Street, Gravesend, because the fire alarm had gone off at around 10.47am.

Nothing was alight but the firefighters stayed there for about 40 minutes while they determined it had gone off due to an electrical fault.

The other fire engine went to a rubbish fire near garages in Lorton Close, Gravesend, at 10.57.

It took around 20 minutes to put out.
