Chimney Fire
Penrose, near St Merryn at 25/10/2007 18:03
Firefighters from Padstow used a hosereel, stirrup pump and rods to extinguish a chimney fire by 1900hrs.
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).
