19/03/2022 4.22PM

At 4.22pm on Saturday (19) a crew from Gamlingay, along with a crew from Royston in Hertfordshire, was called to a fire on High Street in Abington Pigotts.  

Firefighters arrived to find a fire involving a chimney in a house and extinguished it. They returned to their stations by 5.55pm.  

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.”
