Fire crews were called to a retirement village this morning after a pensioner tried boiling a plastic kettle on an oven hob.

The appliance – meant to be put on an electric base – set off fire alarms in Pine Tree Avenue, Canterbury, when it melted at 7.45am.

Watch manager Sheridan Hudson-Peacock said: “These things happen.”
