Dartford Heath on fire for the fourth time in a month as traffic on A2 stopped
Traffic is currently being held on the A2 due to reported fire.
Motorists are currently sitting on the London-bound carriageway near Dartford Heath.
There are reports of another blaze on the verge of grass near the site.
Just four days ago multiple fire engines were called to Dartford Heath at 4pm and crews used hose reel jets to extinguish a fire that had spread to around 400 square metres of grassland. No casualties were reported.
And last Wednesday evening a blaze engulfed a 100x100 metre plot, with seven fire engines and a number of support vehicles, including multi-terrain vehicles, were called at 9.43pm.
The fire service said efforts to extinguish the flames lasted for more than two hours and crews stood down at about 12.15am.
It comes as the fire service reports nearly 400 grass fires in the month of July - a rise of nearly 10 times the amount in July 2021 - due to the heatwave.
The fire service has been approached for more information.
More as we get it.
