flue liners (woodburners)

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service has advised homeowners in Macclesfield to be extra careful when using heating appliances such as flue liners for woodburners.

The warning comes after several fires occurred across the Cheshire East area, according to the Manchester Evening News.

A fire in a property in Peter House Road within the village of Sutton was the latest to be reported, as a fire crew from Macclesfield Fire Station attended the blaze.

This news comes after the BBC reported that a thatched cottage in Church Road, Wormingford was rescued from severe damage thanks to the fast action of local fire officials, who put out the blaze and removed the affected thatch using their own hands.

John Harris, a station officer who was at the scene, told the website: "It is difficult, labour intensive work but crews worked really hard and we had quickly stripped the roof away and prevented the spread of the fire."
