Chimney Fire
Durgan, on the north shore of the Helford River at 26/10/2007 18:38
Firefighters from Falmouth attended and the crew used chimney rods to extinguish a fire in the chimney by 1925hrs.
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).
