PA
A WOMAN has been airlifted to hospital after an explosion at a bungalow.
Emergency services arrived at Canterbury Road, Charing, at around midday where a woman was taken to hospital by air ambulance.
The bungalow was alight when the services arrived and showed extensive damage.
Fire crew tackled the blaze as the injured woman was taken to King’s College Hospital in London.
Neighbours who heard the explosion told KentOnline: “It was an unimaginable bang – everything shook and you can see where the bungalow was.
“You wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
The family dog that appeared from the bungalow rubble is said to be taken care by a vet.
Residents and those working in the vicinity of the accident have been evacuated from the area which is now sectioned off with police tape – a road closure is also in place.
The South East Coast Ambulance service (SECAmb) was supposedly called at 11.50am to attend the incident.
A SECAmb spokesperson said: “Crews assessed and treated one female at the scene, before being joined by the Air Ambulance Charity, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, who airlifted the patient to King’s College Hospital in London for further medical treatment.”
The cause of the explosion is yet to be established and four fire engines and fire investigation team remain in the area.

Verstappen finished fifth in Baku last weekend and claimed his Red Bull car was “f**cked” from Q1 onwards.
Asked on Thursday why teammate Sergio Perez appeared to have the upper hand in Azerbaijan, Max replied: “I don’t know, man, different setup.”
“So, as soon as I went into qualifying, I knew the car was f**ked.”
Tom Clarkson, hosting the press conference, immediately intervened to apologize for the profanity.
He told Verstappen to “watch his language going forward.”
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem recently requested teams to tone down swearing during public events and on track mics.
He told Motorsport.com: “I mean, we have to differentiate between our sport – motorsport – and rap music.
“We’re not rappers, you know. They say the F-word how many times per minute? We are not on that. That’s them and we are [us].”
2 days agoWorld LeaksComments Off on 6 Best Window Vac 2024 UK; tried and tested
WINDOWS no longer need loads of elbow grease to sparkle as window vacs have made keeping them clean a total breeze.
The best window vacs suck up soapy water and remove dirt – and as we found in our tried and tested reviews, they leave your glass streak-free.
Gary StoneLynsey Hope tested out the six bestselling window vacs.[/caption]
They’re also lightweight and easy to use so no need to read up on loads of instructions; generally there’s an on/off switch and that’s about it.
Plug in to charge and they’re good to go. Some window vacs are even suitable for kitchen spills, so they make a great all-round addition to your cleaning arsenal.
Read on for our tried and tested reviews of the best window vacs available to buy in 2024.
Pros: includes an extra suction nozzle (narrow) for smaller areas, 35-minute run time each charge, soaks up spills, easy to empty tank, no drips, good for cleaning condensation
Cons: Heavy, price
Rating: 5/5
Karcher’s window vac is one of the most popular models and is certainly the tool to use to get sparkling, clean windows.
While it’s slightly heavier than others with a 35-minute run time, it did a great job leaving windows, tiles, worktops and mirrors sparkling.
I tested this on my balcony window and it mopped up a lot of excess moisture, making it way quicker than using a microfibre cloth.
Plus, it’s one of the best tools for cleaning up condensation and is especially useful on the inside of car windscreens.
It can also soak up liquid spills, the tank was easy to empty and it didn’t drip like some of the cheaper models.
I love the versatility of it, and while it’s pricey, it would be useful if you regularly clean windows and small spills as it significantly cuts down cleaning time.
Pros: Price, lightweight, 30-minutes’ use before needs recharging
Cons: Less powerful than some others, doesn’t clean up spills, can’t use on worktops or skylights, small water tank
Rating: 3/5
Cheaper than most of the models on our list, but also less powerful.
It did a reasonable job of cleaning and drying condensation but the design made it hard to clean the bottom of windows and it can’t do spills, worktops or grimy skylights.
The water tank is small and had to be emptied repeatedly but it has a 30-minute battery life, it’s cheap and lightweight and I found it handy for a quick fix.
Capacity: 60ml; Weight: 680g, Power: 10W, Run time: 30 minutes
Where can I buy window vacs in the UK?
Window vacs are widely available online from stores such as Amazon, as well as from hardware shops such as Robert Dyas.
Also, check out the websites of individual brands if you already know which window vacuum you want to buy as you can often find offers there you won’t see elsewhere.
The small appliance aisles of larger supermarkets are also a good place to look – though the choice will likely be limited.
We found the window vacs featured in our reviews at:
Window vacuums are available at a variety of price points, with the more expensive versions typically having more functions and extra parts, as well as being more powerful, with larger tanks and longer run times.
You can expect to pay from £25 for a basic model with the price rising depending on the brand and the functions offered.
The cheapest window vac we tested was the Salter Window Cleaning Vac at £24.99, but the Karcher at over £50 came with extra attachments. The best window vac for your needs will depend on how often you use it, as well as your budget.
