Chimney fire tackled by firefighters
FIREFIGHTERS were called out to deal with a blaze in a chimney.
The fire started in a chimney that was regularly used by the home’s family of four over the winter.
As the fireplace was used, the chimney stack became blocked up with debris and in the early hours of this morning that build up caught fire on the inside of the chimney.
A fire engine from Gosport raced to the scene in Holland Place in the town at 2am and used a specially fitted hose to clear out the inside of the chimney.
No one was hurt but the occupants were advised to call out a chimney sweep.
