24/11/2024 2.54PM

At 2.54pm on Sunday (24) a crew from Cambourne was called to a chimney fire on School Lane in Longstowe.

Firefighters used chimney rods to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 4pm.

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.”
