East Peckham: So, there was this van fire today, and it was quite the scene. Firefighters rushed to Hale Street, where a white Vauxhall was ablaze.
The fire started around 11:45 AM, and a guy was actually inside when it happened. He managed to get out and called for help, which came pretty quickly.
A local saw the whole thing and mentioned that the flames seemed to start in the fuel compartment before spreading to the back of the van.
When the firefighters arrived, they worked fast. It took them about ten minutes to get the fire under control. But sadly, the van was pretty much a total loss.
The witness said it was shocking to see, especially since they had never witnessed anything like it before. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is looking into the details, but thankfully, no one was hurt.
