TWO fire crews were called out last night to tackle a chimney fire involving a log burner at a property in Lymm.
Shortly before 8:30 pm, crews from Lymm and Warrington attended the property on Jubilee Grove.
The fire involved a log burner and a chimney breast. On arrival, firefighters used chimney rods to extinguish the fire from inside the area and needed to expose the area to fully damp down. A thermal imaging camera was then used to check the loft to ensure the fire was completely out.

In another incident at 10 pm one crew from Warrington was called out to reports of a tent on fire in a remote area on Sankey Way Warrington.
The fire was extinguished with water.
Earlier, shortly after 5:30 pm one crew from Birchwood was called to reports of a small fire in the open in a wooded area of Norris Street, Warrington.
They used water from a backpack to extinguish the fire.
Lymm attended a Log Burning Stove fire this evening. If you have recently moved to a property with an open fire or log burner it is advisable to have it checked out & chimney swept before using.

No wonder the mayor of London wants to ban them,apart from being a fire risk as in this case,they are responsible for a great deal of air pollution.
