They put out one more chimney fire in Two Mile Ash Road, Southwater on Sunday evening.

A spokesperson for WSFRS said: “Ensure your chimney flue is inspected at regular intervals to prevent fire breaking out of the chimney.

“Fireguards can prevent serious injury or even death, and sparkguards can prevent a serious property fire.”
