FIRE fighters were called to put out a chimney fire in Northleach last night.
Six fire fighters from Northleach Community Fire Station were at Guggle Lane around 8.53pm following reports of a chimney fire.
The crew used chimney rods to deal with the fire and spent 35 minutes on scene.
Due to increased popularity of solid fuel heating, Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service attends a significant number of chimney fires every year.
They have released safety advice at http://www.glosfire.gov.uk/ysafety_h_chimney.html to prevent this from happening in at homes.
