At 5.20pm on Wednesday (25) a crew from Cambridge was called to a fire on Long Drove in Cottenham.

Firefighters arrived to find a fire involving a chimney in a house. They extinguished the fire and returned to their station by 7.30pm.

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.”
