Another big fire in Kent! Was very lucky to be at Ashford Fire Station when they got turned out to this, certainly wasn't expecting it to be such a big job! Was nice to see both Bulk Water Carriers on scene along with other specialist vehicles and some Retained Pumps that you don't see too often and of course, catching the High Volume Pump might be my best catch yet (and also my favourite too!!).
