At 4.26pm on Thursday (4) a crew from Cambridge was called to a chimney fire on Priory Avenue in Swavesey.

Firefighters used small gear to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 6.10pm.

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.
