14/12/2023 5.20PM

At 5.20pm on Thursday (14) a crew from St Neots was called to a chimney fire on High Street in Southoe.

Firefighters used chimney gear to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 7.30pm.

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.”
