Dramatic footage shows a former builder's yard in Greenhithe, Kent, engulfed in flames on April 23, 2025, just metres from neighbouring homes.
Eight fire engines responded to the blaze, which was contained by 1:17 a.m. on April 24.
Firefighters used main jets to extinguish the fire, which consumed a derelict building surrounded by scrubland.
Neighbours reported thick black smoke visible as far as Bluewater Shopping Centre.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but local residents had previously seen teenagers on-site.
The land was once slated for redevelopment into 32 homes, but the application was abandoned in 2023. No injuries were reported.
