Chimney Fire
Tresco, Isles of Scilly at 25/12/2004 17:58
Firefighters on the Island of Tresco responded to a report of a chimney on fire. The crew used a roof ladder to investigate and confirmed that the fire was already out.
General Fire Safety Advice:
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).
