A huge fire has broken out on the site of a former nursing home in Kent.
The blaze ripped through the derelict buidling in the village of Twydall just after 5pm today.
Eight fire crews from Kent Fire and Rescue were tonight battling to contain the flames from spreading to neighbouring buildings in Newnham Close.

A spokesman said: "Firefighters are using a combination of main jets and hose reel jets to tackle the blaze.
"They're also using compressed air foam system on nearby buildings to try and prevent the fire from spreading."
A video shared on Twitter by on-looker Ruby Jayne Porter showed flames and smoke billowing from the building.
It is the second time a fire has sparked in the building within just a few months, Kent Online reported.
