30/12/2023 5.38PM
At 5.38pm on Saturday (30) a crew from Kimbolton was called to a chimney fire on Hatchet Lane in Kimbolton.
Firefighters used small gear to extinguish the chimney fire and returned to their station by 7.05pm.
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.”
