Chimney Fire and Reminder For the Annual Sweep
St Johns Road, Newquay at 17/10/2004 18:05
One appliance from Newquay attended. The crew used a stirrup pump and rods to extinguish the fire.
General Fire Safety Advice:
It is strongly recommended that you have your chimney swept by a competent chimney sweep at least once a year, preferably before you light the fire for the first time in the Autumn (N.B. If you regularly burn wood, we recommend that the chimney is swept twice a year).
