10/01/2024 7.32PM

At 7.32pm on Wednesday (10) crews from Linton and Cambridge along with a turntable ladder were called to a chimney fire on Camps Road in Bartlow.

Firefighters used chimney rods and hose reels to extinguish the fire and returned to their stations by 10.50pm.

The cause of the fire was accidental.

A fire service spokesperson 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.
