Kentish correspondents suggest it may improve the vista

A tyre fire has broken out across in industrial state in Gravesend, sending black smoke plumes into the sky that are visible from 20 miles away.

More than 70 firefighters and 12 fire engines are tackling the blaze. Roads in the surrounding area have been shut and residents have been warned not to open their windows.

Beachgoers in Southend, County Essex said on Twitter they could see the smoke arising from the fire, according to Sky News.

Kent Fire and Rescue said the fire also involved caravans. Three main jets were tackling the blaze.

I actually saw this smoke plum today,from Rochester and I did think it was tyres burning, it was Gravesend direction. Just glad it did not spark a riot.Thank you for the confirmation.

If you can post a template I'll do the clues as I realise many clueless esp in the Medway towns such that they send an Asian Bishop to pastor to you
