Chimney fire – Stonely - Huntingdonshire

26/04/2023 6.55PM

At 6.55pm on Wednesday (26) a crew from St Neots was called to a fire on Main Road in Stonely. 

Firefighters arrived to find a fire involving a chimney in a house and extinguished it. They returned to their station by 8pm.  

The cause of the fire was accidental.  

A fire service spokesman said: “Please ensure that you get your chimney swept and brick work inspected regularly, at least once a year. The debris buildup in the flue can be set alight when heating the home, which could cause a significant fire. Regular chimney maintenance will help prevent this from happening.”
