Chimney Fire
Godolphin Road, Helston at 29/09/2005 01:27
One appliance from Helston attended. The crew used one hosereel and a stirrup pump and rods to extinguish the fire.
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).
