At 2.48pm on Wednesday (8) a crew from Wisbech was called to a chimney fire on Main Road in Parson Drove. 

Firefighters used specialist equipment to extinguish the fire and returned to their stations by 3.40pm. 

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.”
