Fire crews have combated a number of chimney blazes in Suffolk over this past weekend, with many incidents being caused by faulty flue accessories.
At 9:46 GMT on Sunday, fire officials attended a fire in Witnesham, which was caused by a faulty woodburning stove and had to be extinguished using a turn table ladder, a roof ladder and a hose reel, according to the East Anglia Daily Times.
As well as this, a fire was also tackled in Chediston at 9:45 GMT on Sunday, with one fire engine from Horsforth arriving at the scene and subduing the flames in just over an hour.
Meanwhile, MetroNY.com recently offered tips for homeowners who are concerned about the hazards of home heating.
The site suggested that residents should also be aware of their chimney's state, as an improperly cleaned chimney can often lead to creosote build-up.
Areas that surround chimneys should also be cleared of any debris of flammable materials.
