Chimney fire – Warboys - Huntingdonshire

At 2.39pm on Saturday (27) crews from Huntingdon, Chatteris and March were called to a fire on Fenton Road in Warboys.  

Firefighters arrived to find a fire involving a chimney in a house and extinguished it. A female casualty was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. 

The crews returned to their stations by 6pm. 

The cause of the fire was accidental. 

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.”
