Chimney fire - Brampton - Huntingdonshire

16/12/2023 5.21PM

At 5.21pm on Saturday (16) a crew from Huntingdon was called to a chimney fire on Buckden Road in Brampton.

Firefighters arrived to find a chimney well alight. Using chimney rods, small gear and a hose reel, the crew extinguished the fire and returned to their station by 7pm.

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.”
