Crews used chimney fire rods from the inside of the property, as well as a fog spike to create a hole and spray water into the chimney from outside to put out the fire. Following this incident crews are urging anyone with a chimney to sign up for a free clean sweep alert which is an annual reminder to have chimneys swept and maintained. More information about the clean sweep alert can be found here: https://www.kent.fire-uk.org/news/campaigns/clean-sweep-alert/
