Firefighters Battle Chimney Flames with Specialist Gear
Two fire engines tackled the blaze using specialised chimney equipment. They doused the surrounding brickwork with high-pressure hose reel jets to prevent the fire from spreading. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. Authorities believe the fire started accidentally.
Urgent Autumn Warning from Firefighters
Firefighters are urging homeowners to get their chimneys and flues swept and inspected regularly. A build-up of tar, loose bricks, or even birds’ nests can ignite, triggering dangerous chimney fires.
“Regular checks are vital to keep your home safe this autumn and winter,” fire crews warned.
