Firefighters battled a serious barn blaze in Sevenoaks Weald last night.

Livestock, including four cows, in an adjacent building had to be moved to safety.

Four fire crews tackled the blaze overnight, with two still on the scene on Sunday morning.

The fire was being allowed to burn out in controlled conditions.

A small amount of asbestos on the site was dealt with safely.
