21/01/2023 6.11PM

At 6.11pm on Saturday (21) a crew from March was called to a fire on Hundred Road in March. 

Firefighters arrived to find a fire involving a chimney in a house. They extinguished it and returned to their station by 8pm.  

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.”
