Chimney fire - Eastfield - Peterborough

At 3.40pm on Wednesday (12) a crew from Stanground was called to a chimney fire on Garton End Road in Peterborough.

Firefighters used hose reels and small gear to extinguish the fire and returned to their station by 6.30pm.

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.”
