A chimney fire in Cambridge has triggered a safety warning from fire fighters, who are advising residents to maintain their flue accessories.
The incident occurred in West Wratting and required the assistance of fire teams from Sawston as well as Cambridge, which used hose reels and chimney rods to combat the blaze, according to the Haverhill Echo.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service told the newspaper: "Please ensure you get your chimney swept and the brickwork inspected at least once a year to help to prevent a chimney fire."
Earlier this month, SussexPress.co.uk reported that a chimney fire in the East Sussex area proved extremely challenging for fire officials.
Four fire engines were called to the blaze, which occurred at a property in the county's Ripe region.
Two house reel jets were used to combat the fire, while anti-fire foam was also spread across the flames. No injuries were reported.
