One child has died while a second child and an adult have been taken to hospital after a fire at a house in Kent. <\/p>\n

Three firefighters also suffered minor injuries in the “intense” fire on White Admiral Way, Hamstreet, near Ashford, Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) said.<\/p>\n

The blaze started just after 12:00 GMT and at its height six fire engines worked to extingush the flames, which had spread throughout the semi-detached property. An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.<\/p>\n

Ann Millington, KFRS chief executive, said: “Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with everyone affected by this tragic incident, especially the child’s loved ones.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The fire service was joined by crews from Kent Police, South East Coast Ambulance Service (Secamb) and Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex in responding to the blaze. <\/p>\n

A Secamb spokesperson said: “Sadly, despite the efforts of everyone involved, one child died at the scene. Another child and an adult were taken to hospital. <\/p>\n

“Our thoughts and condolences are with all those affected.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

KFRS has since scaled down its response but remained at the scene on Sunday evening damping down hot-spots.<\/p>\n

A volunteer response team has also been offering crew welfare and support.<\/p>\n

In an update at 21:00, it said three firefighters had suffered minor injuries and had been to hospital but had since been released.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ms Millington said a welfare hub had been set up at Hamstreet Village Hall where support was available for the local community.<\/p>\n

“We understand this will be a distressing time,” she said.<\/p>\n

Kent Police said its officers attended and assisted with the closure of the road while firefighters extinguished the blaze.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
