Appliances from Mullion, St Keverne and Helston Community Fire Stations responded to a report of smoke coming from a property. On arrival the crews found this to be a thatched property and quickly used one hose reel jet and one covering jet. On further investigation of the property the smoke was caused by a faulty boiler.

When a fire takes hold of a thatched property the damage is devastating. Chimneys can be a main cause of fire in thatched properties so ensuring your chimney is swept and kept in good working order is essential.
Follow our advice to keep your property as safe as possible. Remember if you have a fire, get out, stay out and call 999.
