Chimney Fire
Daw House, Launceston at 14/03/2016 18:50
Crews totalling 12 firefighters, from Launceston Community Fire Station, this evening attended a chimney fire.
Due to the fireplace having a woodburner in situ, the chimney was awkward to access and crews had to rod and hose the chimney from the roof using ladders and safe height lines.
This is all the information we have on this incident.
During 2014/15 Cornwall firefighters tackled 204 chimney fires. Most chimney fires are preventable by having them swept regularly. For further information, visit our website:
