A chimney fire has damaged the flue accessories of a pub in Kent, leading customers to be evacuated.
The blaze happened on Saturday evening (December 18th), after an alarm alerted the pub's landlord to flames which were spreading to the building's roof, according to ThisIsKent.co.uk.
Weather conditions also hindered the rescue mission, with a fire fighter from the scene telling the website: "The water we were using to put out the flames was turning to ice as soon as it hit the ground, making the road conditions even worse."
Meanwhile, Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) has warned homeowners about the dangers involved in using heating appliances this winter.
CFRS has urged locals to be extremely cautious when using heating systems that have not been lit for more than a month and issued a particular warning about using log fires.
Also, the service told property owners that their home heating tools should be installed and approved by credible engineers.
