At 9pm on Saturday (7) a crew from Sawtry was called to a chimney fire on Hamerton Road in Buckworth.

Firefighters used chimney rods to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 10pm.

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.”
