Two crews from Perranporth and one from Truro attended a call to a property full of smoke. Upon arrival crews thoroughly searched the property and could find no sign of fire. Crews used small gear, a thermal imaging camera. After inspection crews attended the adjoining premise and found that a newly installed wood burner had a defective flue. Smoke from the defective flue had been entering the neighbouring property. Crews removed the fire from the wood burner to stop any further smoke damage to the neighbouring property.
