Shocking video clips have shown what are understood to be Christmas trees going up in a raging fire. The footage was taken along the A258 Deal Road in St Margaret’s at Cliffe last night. Gemma Green, who captured the blaze at about 9.
15pm, believes the foilage to be that of a local Christmas tree seller. She told KentOnline: “It’s trees next to The Swingate Inn restaurant. “Sadly, I think they are from a local company.
“It was out of control when we passed it, but two fire engines arrived just after we left.” The video shows smoke billowing over the main road, with an orange glow from the fire. Onlookers watch on as huge flames reach above the trees and close to The Swingate Inn Indian restaurant.
Witnesses on social media say the building was not damaged. The fire service has been contacted for more information. More on this as we have it.
